Step 8: Run test recovery

SRM enables you to test a recovery plan by simulating a failover of virtual machines from the protected site to

the recovery site. The beneﬁt of using SRM to run a failover simulation against a recovery plan is that it allows

you to conﬁrm that the recovery plan has been set up correctly for the protected virtual machines. You will be

able to conﬁrm that the protected virtual machines start up in the correct order, taking into account the various

application service dependencies for the protected virtual machines in your environment.

When you select the option to test a recovery plan via SRM, the simulated failover is executed in an isolated

environment. This environment includes network and storage infrastructure at the recovery site that is isolated

from the protected site (production environment), which ensures that the protected virtual machines at the

protected site are not subject to any kind of service interruption during the testing of the recovery plan. SRM will

also create a test report that can be used to demonstrate your level of preparedness to the business or

individual business units whose services are being protected by SRM, as well as to the auditors and compliance

The simulated failover is completed by resetting the environment so that it is ready for the next event. This could
