Failing back a failed-over instance enables you to send the instance and its changes to an on-premises vCenter. The failback operation occurs in the Cloud Disaster Recovery Server (CDRS) UI.
Prerequisites
Configure the recovery staging area for the target vCenter through the
PowerProtect Data Manager.
Steps
In the
PowerProtect Data Manager, select
Infrastructure > Storage > Cloud Disaster Recovery.
In the
Cloud Disaster Recovery Server pane, the public address of the Cloud DR Server hostname is displayed. To open the CDRS UI in a new tab, click the Server Hostname link.
From the CDRS UI, select
Recovery > DR Activities, select a running failover, and click
Failback.
You can select the default target (the original, on-premises VM and vCenter) or a different target.
The excluded disks in the VM are displayed in the
DR test screen. When you click the disk exclusion link, the disks that are excluded from the backup are displayed.
In Linux operating system, if the recovered VM contains excluded disks, the recovery of the copy fails and a warning is displayed. Check the log files for more information.
Results
Failback operation begins. When the failback operation completes, you can vMotion the failed back VM on the vCenter to the production area and change its IP address. For more information about the failback operation, see the
Cloud Disaster Recovery Installation and Administration Guide.
