Testing Cloud Failover Plan

In this article

The SP can test a tenant's cloud failover plan to ensure replicated tenant VMs on the cloud host successfully start and can be accessed from external network after failover. When you test a cloud failover plan, Veeam Backup & Replication does not switch from a production VM to it's replica. Instead, it reverts every VM replica in the cloud failover plan to the latest restore point, boots the replica operation system, waits for the VM replica to reach a "stabilization point" using the Stabilization by IP algorithm and checks if the VM replica responds to ping requests.

To test a cloud failover plan:

Open the Cloud Connect view.
In the inventory pane, click Replicas > Failover Plans.
In the working area, right-click the necessary cloud failover plan and select Test.
