Resolução
Steps to perform a test failover in vRanger.
1. Select your replication job and at the top you will be able to click "Test Failover" button.
2. vRanger will create a snapshot of the replica VM, vRanger will have the NIC disabled, and vRanger will power on the replica VM.
3. Once the above steps are performed the replication job is paused.
4. Once the replica VM gets turned on you can log in and make sure that it works correctly.
5. Once you are done confirming that the replica VM is working correctly go back to vRanger and click on the to resume button to continue with the replication job.
6. vRanger will have the replica VM shutdown, revert the VM to the state prior to the snapshot being taken and will delete the snapshot without committing it, and it will re enable the NIC. After this is done the replica VM is in the same state that it was before the failvoer test was performed and the replication job can continue where it left of.
