Managing Failover

This section describes how to perform a failover to the recovery site after an unforeseen disaster. The following topics are described in this section:

■ “The Failover Process”, below

■ “Initiating a Failover”, on page 274

■ “Reverse Protection for a Failed Over VPG”, on page 280

■ “What Happens When the Protected Site is Down”, on page 281

■ “Initiating a Failover During a Test”, on page 281

Note: If you need to perform a failover while a backup job is running, the backup job is aborted to enable the failover to run.
