Perform a Failback

After
Site Recovery Manager
 performs a recovery, you can perform a failback to restore the original configuration of the protected and recovery sites.
  • You performed a recovery, either as part of a planned migration or as part of a disaster recovery.
  • The original protected site, site A, is running.
  • You did not run reprotect since the recovery.
  • If you performed a disaster recovery, you must perform a planned migration when the hosts and datastores on the original protected site are running again.
After a recovery from site A to site B, the recovered virtual machines are running on site B without protection.
  1. In the
    vSphere Client
    , click
    Site Recovery
    Open Site Recovery
    .
  2. On the
    Site Recovery
     home tab, select a site pair, and click
    View Details
    .
  3. On the
    Recovery Plans
     tab, right-click a recovery plan and click
    Reprotect
    .
  4. Select the check box to confirm that you understand that the reprotect operation is irreversible.
  5. Determine whether to enable
    Force Cleanup
    , and click
    Next
    .
    Force Cleanup
     is only available after you run reprotect once and errors occur. Enabling this option forces the removal of virtual machines, ignoring errors, and returns the recovery plan to the
    ready
     state.
  6. Review the reprotect information and click
    Finish
    .
  7. Select the recovery plan and click
    Recovery Steps
     to monitor the reprotect operation until it finishes.
  8. If necessary, rerun reprotect until it finishes without errors.
    At the end of the reprotect operation,
    Site Recovery Manager
     reverses replication, so that the original recovery site, site B, is now the protected site.
  9. To run the recovery plan as a planned migration, right-click the recovery plan and click
    Recovery
    .
  10. Select the recovery plan and click
    Recovery Steps
     to monitor the planned migration until it finishes.
    The planned migration shuts down the virtual machines on the new protected site, site B, and starts up the virtual machines on the new recovery site, site A. If necessary, rerun the planned migration until it finishes without errors.
    When the planned migration completes, the virtual machines are running on the original protected site, site A, but the virtual machines are not protected. The virtual machines on the original recovery site, site B, are powered off.
  11. Right-click the recovery plan, click
    Reprotect
    , and follow the instructions of the wizard to perform a second reprotect operation.
You restored the protected and recovery sites to their original configuration before the recovery. The protected site is site A, and the recovery site is site B.
