PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Cloud Disaster Recovery User Guide

Failback to an on-premises vCenter server

Failing back a failed-over instance enables you to send the instance and its changes to an on-premises vCenter server. The failback operation occurs in the Cloud DR Server UI.

1. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Storage > Cloud Disaster Recovery.
2. In the Cloud Disaster Recovery Server pane, the public address of the Cloud DR Server hostname is displayed. To open the Cloud DR Server UI in a new tab, click the server hostname link.
3. From the Cloud DR Server 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 server) 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.
