Editing Cloud Failover Plan Settings
If the SP wants to execute custom scripts before and after the tenant cloud failover plan, the SP must create those scripts in advance and select them in the cloud failover plan settings before the tenant runs the cloud failover plan. For example, the SP may want to send an email to backup administrators before the failover plan is started and after the failover operation completes. Veeam Backup & Replication supports script files in BAT and CMD formats and executable files in the EXE format.
The process of specifying script settings is the same for regular cloud failover plans and cloud failover plans for VMs that have replicas in VMware Cloud Director.
Note |
In the cloud failover plan settings, the SP can only specify pre-failover and post-failover scripts. The SP cannot change other failover plan settings specified by the tenant. |
