Performing Test Failover with networking enabled

Replicate VMs > Using replication failover > Performing Test Failover with networking enabled

This feature is enabled by way of the configuration file for the vRanger client, Vizioncore.vRanger.Client.Shell.exe.config. This file is located in the vRanger installation directory. The default is C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger.
1
Open the Vizioncore.vRanger.Client.Shell.exe.config file with your text editor of choice.
4
Change the value for ShowTestFailoverDialog from “false” to “true”, ensuring the quotation marks remain.
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.

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

Click the Failover icon.

When the Confirm Synchronization dialog box appears, select one of the following:
Yes: This option shuts down the production VM and perform a final synchronization to the DR site. This option ensures that no data is lost, but also transfers any virus or corruption to the replica VM. View the replication progress in the Running Tasks section of the vRanger UI.
No: The production VM is turned off, but no changes are sent to the DR replica.

Performing failback

1
In the My Jobs view, select a replication job.
2
Click the Failback icon.

When the Confirm Synchronization dialog box appear, select one of the following:
Yes: This option ensures that any data changed on the DR VM is replicated back to the production site. If you do not want to synchronize, data changed since the last replication pass is lost. View the replication progress in the Running Tasks section of the vRanger UI.
No: The DR VM turned off, but no changes are sent to the Production site.
