Managing Failover
This section describes how to perform a failover to the recovery site after an unforeseen disaster.
Recovering a protected virtual machine to AWS requires importing the machine and its associated volumes into EC2. Each machine and volume requires a separate import process. By default, Amazon limits accounts to a specific number of parallel import processes. If you have more machines and volumes than this limit, the process takes longer. The additional machines and volumes are queued and are imported only after an import process is available. If you intend to protect more machines and volumes than can be imported at one time by default, Zerto recommends that you contact AWS Support to increase the ec2‑import-instance/volume limit.

If you need to perform a failover while a retention process is running, first abort the retention process to enable the failover to run. |
