After detaching the site from primary site, verify whether the application starts correctly on a secondary site. The fire drill ensures that the application can run on the secondary if disaster strikes the primary site. These procedures assume that the application is running correctly before the fire drill operation begins.

To verify the secondary site, import the detached site on a different host using the following command:

# vxdg -o site=sitename import dgname

Then start the application. If the application runs correctly on the secondary site, this step verifies the integrity of the secondary site.
