Resetting Storage Plans

After you run a storage plan and it acquires the FAILOVER state, you must reset the plan if you wish to run it again (for example, to perform failback). The Reset action returns the plan to the DISABLED state and updates the Orchestrator database to reflect the changes made to the location of VMs included in the plan. The configuration of plan steps and their parameter settings in this case remain the same.
