Follow these guidelines for fire drills in a Windows environment:

• The primary and secondary sites must be fully configured with SRDF replication and the global cluster option. The configuration must follow the applicable instructions in the Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions for Windows documentation for configuring disaster recovery with SRDF.

• The secondary system where you plan to run the fire drill must have access to the replicated volumes.

• You must configure BCV or target device pairs (for SRDF) before running the wizard.
