6. Failback from Recovery Site to Protected Site

understanding failback is that very simply it is the same steps as failover but in the opposite direction.

In the previous section, a recovery plan was executed plan in ‘Run’ mode that essentially performed a

Recovery Manager the next step will at some point in time be a failback.

The failback scenario covered as part of this evaluation will involve failing back to a site that is still in a good

If you suffer a total site loss of the site you failed over from then additional steps will obviously need to be

followed before you can failback as you will need to recreate the environment at the lost site before

commencing any failback.

To summarize the workflow:

1. Failover recovery plan from Site 1 (protected site) to Site 2 (recovery site)

2. Virtual machine named “site1-vm5” and its associated NFS export “site1-nfs3” successfully failed over to

Site 2

3. Virtual machine “site1-vm5” now powered on and running successfully at Site 2

The goal is now to failback the NFS export containing Virtual machine “site1-vm5” to its original home at Site

points storage rescans would be needed for those protocol types. These will be pointed out where appropriate.

The high-level steps for this failback will be:

1. Verify virtual machine failed over correctly.

2. Review state of storage at recovery site (Site 2) and failback site (Site 1).

3. Reverse storage replication so that replication now flows from Site 2 to Site 1 for the NFS export that

this virtual machine resides in.

5. Configure Site Recovery Manager Inventory mapping within Site 2 Site Recovery Manager server.

6. Remove original protection group at Site 1 and recovery plan at Site 2 used for original virtual machine

protection.

7. Remove from vCenter inventory virtual machine objects left behind at Site 1 for virtual machines that

were failed over to Site 2.

8. Create protection group at Site 2 for datastore group containing this NFS export.

9. Create Recovery plan at Site 1 for this protection group created in step 8.

10. Test Recovery plan using Site Recovery Manager “Test” mode recovery plan functionality.

11. Failback using Site Recovery Manager “Run” mode recovery plan functionality.
