Question about test a copy and failover test
Hello,
I picked a copy, CG (non production) for test a copy and failover Recover Point testing. I have two questions, since it has been over a year since I have done this and need some information. After I click the begin failover option, I get the screen pictured below. I am not sure whether to check the following box:
start transfer after recovery or not and then when click finish I get the following prompt? Is this normal for testing recovery. So sorry for all of the questions.
Thanks in advance,
Admingirl

You are going through an actual failover where your 2nd site will become the production site. If you check that box then replication will automatically start in the reverse direction...from DR to Prod
If you don't check the box, then the replication will not start in the opposite direction. Is this what you are trying to do?

Hi Ankur,
I want to fail the Production copy to the DR node, let it run for a few days, and the fail back.
Thanks again!

If you want all the changes you make while at the DR sites to be sent back over to Prod then check the box.
