JetStream DR offers two different modes of failover operation:

  • Failover is typically used in response to a disaster event where resources are replicated to a recovery site and then protected VMs are recovered to it. Failover steps are configured and performed together.
  • Continuous failover can be initiated at any time to replicate resources to a recovery site prior to any disaster and then allowed to run in the background during normal system operation. When a disaster event occurs, continuous failover can be “completed” to immediately transfer ownership of the protected VMs to the recovery site (near-zero RTO).

Open the More menu and select one of the failover options (Failover or Continuous Failover).

Select a failover option.


After selecting a failover mode, configure its failover settings.
