CPT performs the following functions when generating an FOP:

  • Collects information about protected domains and VMs directly from the object store.
  • Generates an FOP that can be used to automatically configure failover settings for protected domains.
    • The FOP specifies all information about DRVAs and protected domains necessary to manage failover tasks.
    • The FOP includes information to handle failover of both CFO domains and non-CFO domains.
    • The FOP is generated according to protected domain priorities that have been specified for the protected site.
  • Generates the file failover_plan_auto_gen.yml. Its contents can be viewed by clicking the View Results button.
