Failover mode is initiated when needed and runs a complete process to recover protected VMs to a recovery site.

  • After failover has been configured and started and all data has been recovered from the storage site to the recovery site, a final set of steps will automatically be performed to conclude the failover process, including:
    • Cleaning up temporary VMs used during the recovery process.
    • Resuming protection of the domain.
    • Applying DR storage policies.
    • Powering on VMs.
    • Shifting ownership to the recovery site.
  • When failover is complete, a message box will appear confirming completion of the failover recovery task.

Failover task is complete.

  • The mode will now indicate “Running in Failover” and VM protection status will be “Recoverable.” 
    • All VMs of the protected domain will now be running at the recovery site in the state specified by the failover runbook settings (if applied).
