You can perform a test failover operation to validate failover operations for a replication group.
For VMware destinations, a test failover operation live-mounts replicated VMs that are part of a replication group on the destination site. For Amazon and Azure destinations, a test failover operation clones replicated VMs that are part of a failover group on the destination site.
Test failover is supported only for Amazon, Azure, and VMware destinations.
Before You Begin
For VMware, before performing a test failover operation, review the Test Failover Options section in the replication group settings. You can use these options to configure an isolated network.
