A Start Continuous Failover ("SCFOP") protection plan template is generated by CPT when it is run at the primary site in “protected” mode. 

  • The SCFOP template should be finalized by the user and can then be used with its Plan Execution script to automatically initiate continuous failover protection of VMs at the recovery site.



Execution of the SCFOP has the following characteristics:

  • The SCFOP defines DRVAs to be created and protected domains to be started in near-zero RTO mode at the recovery site.
  • The script checks for storage requirement of each protected domain before initiating the CFO task and waits until the requirement is met.
