* * NOTE: This slide has animation Testing of a SRM Recovery Plan can be completed without impacting the protected VMs (app_vm7 to app_vm12) at the protected site SRM recovery plan called ‘Recovery Plan 2 – Protection Group 2’ required to complete a partial site failover for the local data center vim22dc which is protected by SRM The protected VMs that will be failed over are app_vm7 through to app_vm12 from Protection Group 2 which is associated to the datastore group shared-san-2 While the simulated failover test is running, the status of each step that makes up the recovery plan can be monitored by going to Recovery Steps tab in the VI Client which will inform you what steps are currently Running as well as what steps were completed with a Success status. It is worth pointing out that there are some steps in a recovery plan that will only be executed during a simulated test, these steps are identified by ‘Test Only’ under the Mode column, there are also some steps that will only be executed during an actual failover, these steps are identified by ‘Recovery only’ under the Mode column Once the simulated failover test is completes a report of the test run can be viewed from the History Tab. The report can be viewed by clicking on the ‘view’ link. The report contains a list of all the steps in the recovery plan along with a status of ‘success or error’ and the duration of each step in the recovery plan * * SRM enables you to ‘Run’ a recovery plan which will result in the actual failover of virtual machines from the protected site The failover process via SRM is rapid, repeatable, reliable, manageable and auditable There are two ways to initiate the actual failover, you can either click on the ‘Run’ button or click on the ‘Execute Recovery Plan’ link under the Commands section If there is still connectivity back to the protected site at the time the disaster is declared by the business, SRM will first initiate the power down of the protected VMs at the protecte
