Failover vm de un CG
Hola a todos el posible realizar un test and failover a una solo vm que pertenece a un CG:
Por ejemplo tengo CG llamado AD, el cual dentro tiene 4 vm (maquinas virtuales), necesito levantar la replica de una sola de las vm perteneciente a este CG,en el site de destino, es posible realizar este procedimiento?
Nota: Cual es la diferencia entre test and recover production y test and failover?
La imagen muestra la vm que necesito levantar:
Actualmente esta en el vcenter01 y se replica a vcenter02
necesito que pase a estar en vcenter02 y se replique a vcenter01
No Events found!

Hi there,
The recovery works with a granularity of a Consistency Group. This means that when all VMs in a CG would be recovered when performing a recover production and all VMs in a CG would be failed over upon failover.
When performing a test (and every recover activity starts with a test), it’s possible to prevent the power on of the replica VMs (there’s a checkbox in the test wizard for that) so that one or replica VMs in a CG can be powered on manually as needed.
To your final question, recover production is a different recovery action than a failover. Recover production is a restore so that in case there’s a need to bring up to production as fast as possible on the original production site (rather than brining it up on the replica site as prod like in failover), this would be the recovery action to do that. So, recover production revereses replication, once recovery is complete, the original replication direction is resumed and he production VM is started up. The replication roles doesn’t change as in failover.
Hope that helps,
Idan
