Running a Failover Immediately

You can run a failover immediately after you configure a failover group in the wizard.

About This Task

• You can perform a failback job on a failover group only if these conditions are met:
  • All the VMs in a failover group belong to the same schedule
  • At least one of the VMs in the failover group is eligible for failback
• If the failback operation is not available from the failover group, you can perform a failback on single VMs from the Live Sync Monitor.

Procedure

1. In the CommCell Browser, click Dev-Test & DR > Failover Groups.

   The Failover Groups tab appears.

2. Under Group Name, right-click a group and click All Tasks > Failover, and then select the appropriate option:
   • To test the failover destination machine by bringing it online, click Test Boot VM.
   • To run a planned failover, click Planned Failover.
   • To run an unplanned failover, click Unplanned Failover.
   • To run a failback when Live Sync is disabled, click Failback.

   The Confirmation dialog box appears.

3. Click OK.

   You can track the progress of the job in the Job Controller tab.

What To Do Next

• Manage the virtual lab you created on Web Console. For instructions, see End User Operations for Virtual Labs.
