Ensuring the disaster recovery readiness of your Resiliency Platform assets using the rehearse operation

Use the Rehearse option on the Resiliency Platform console to perform the disaster recovery rehearsal, which verifies the ability of your configured resiliency group to fail over to the disaster recovery (DR) data center during disaster. A rehearsal is a zero-downtime test that mimics the configuration, application data, storage, replication, and the fail over behavior of your resiliency group.

Note:

You can perform the Rehearsal operation only on the recovery data center.

To perform the rehearse operation

  1. Navigate

    Assets (navigation pane)

    Resiliency Groups

  2. Do one of the following on the resiliency group for which DR is already configured. That is, the DR Status column shows the status of the resiliency group as Configured.
    • Double-click the resiliency group and select Rehearse.

    • Click on the vertical ellipsis and select Rehearse.

  3. Select the recovery data center and then click Submit.

Before you perform the rehearse operation again, you need to ensure that the previous rehearsal is cleaned up by running the Rehearse Cleanup operation.
