Step 6. Add Plan Steps

At the VM Steps step of the wizard, use the list of plan steps to select steps to be performed for each VM during failover.

For a step to be displayed in the Available Steps list, it must be added to the list of inventory items available for the scope, as described in section Managing Inventory Items.

Important

To allow the failover process to perform successfully, the Process Replica VM step must execute first.

By default, Orchestrator will perform the same selected steps in the same order for all new VMs that will later appear in the inventory groups included in the plan. However, you can change the step execution order and modify the list of steps individually for each VM, as described in section Configuring Steps.

Note

If a VM is included in multiple inventory groups in the same plan, Orchestrator will only run the Process Replica VM step once. However, other steps for this VM will execute when processing it in each group.
