# 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.
