Running a Failover Immediately

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

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.

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

The Failover Groups tab appears.
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.
Click OK.

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