Performing Test Failover with networking disabled

The Test Failover operation can be performed from the Scheduled Jobs and On Demand Jobs nodes of the My Jobs view.

The following describes the default Test Failover operation. To perform a test failover with networking enabled, see Performing Test Failover with networking enabled.

To perform test failure with networking disabled:
1
Click the Test Failover icon.

The test failover process begins, and a job is added to the Current Jobs node.

3
When testing is complete, select the Test Failover task in the Current Jobs node, and click Resume.

The snapshots made are reverted.

The network card is “Connect at Power On,” which prepares the replica VM for failover.

The VM returns to its dormant state.

To perform a test failover:
1
Click the Test Failover icon.
Continue with networking on the replica disabled: When performing a test failover with networking disabled, the replica VM is powered on with the network adapter disconnected. This option protects the production environment, but eliminates the ability of testing your replica VM as part of a larger environment.
Continue with networking on the replica enabled: When performing a network enabled test failover, your replica VM is powered on with the network adaptor connected.
