Test a Recovery Plan

When you test a recovery plan,
Site Recovery Manager
 runs the virtual machines of the recovery plan on a test network and on a temporary snapshot of replicated data at the recovery site.
Site Recovery Manager
 does not disrupt operations at the protected site.
Testing a recovery plan runs all the steps in the plan, except for powering down virtual machines at the protected site and forcing devices at the recovery site to assume control of replicated data. If the plan requires the suspension of local virtual machines at the recovery site,
Site Recovery Manager
 suspends those virtual machines during the test. Running a test of a recovery plan makes no other changes to the production environment at either site.
Testing a recovery plan creates a snapshot on the recovery site of all the disk files of the virtual machines in the recovery plan. The creation of the snapshots adds to the I/O latency on the storage. If you notice slower response times when you test recovery plans and you are using VMware Virtual SAN storage, monitor the I/O latency by using the monitoring tool in the Virtual SAN interface.
