After the maintenance plan is created, you can failover the applications to the clone virtual machine and failback the applications from the clone to the virtual machine. When the scheduled maintenance is complete, you can delete the cloned virtual machine or retain it for future use.
To perform failover, failback, revert, or delete clone operations, go to Planned Maintenance, and select a maintenance plan. Based on the enabled operation, perform the following tasks:
To failover the applications to the cloned virtual machine
Veritas AppProtect performs the sequence of failover tasks, which includes taking the application offline, detaching the disks, cloning the virtual machine, attaching the disks, and so on.
To failback the applications from the clone to the primary virtual machine
Veritas AppProtect performs the sequence of failback tasks, which includes taking the application offline, detaching the disks, attaching the disks, and so on.
To revert a failover or a failback operation
If the failover or a failback operation fails, the revert operation restores the applications on the virtual machine, and deletes the clone if created.
