After you have configured the sites for disaster recovery, you can test the recovery plan to verify the fault-readiness by mimicking a failover from the protected site to the recovery site. This procedure is done without affecting application monitoring.
When you run a test recovery plan, the virtual machines specified in the plan appear in the isolated network at the recovery site.
For details, refer to, VMware product documentation.
For test recovery, Veritas recommends you to modify your network settings such that,
The recovery site vCenter Server and Symantec High Availability Console is able to communicate with the test virtual machines.
Create a dedicated network for the test virtual machines to failover. The target ESX console port should be accessible over this virtual network.
To create this network, you must select "Auto" as the Test Network while you create the SRM Recovery Plan.
Configure the test virtual machines such that they are accessible over the virtual network created.
