Initiate Cancel Recovery Plan

The workflow initiates a cancel of failover or test of a recovery plan.
When you cancel a test or recovery,
Site Recovery Manager
does not start processes, and uses certain rules to stop processes that are in progress. Canceling a failover requires you to rerun the failover. Canceling a test requires you to run a cleanup.
  • Processes that cannot be stopped, such as powering on or waiting for a heartbeat, run to completion before the cancellation finishes.
  • If you cancel, processes that add or remove storage devices are undone by cleanup operations.
The workflow performs a check for the recovery plan state when running. If the recovery plan is in state
running
, you can cancel a recovery or a test.
Recovery plans are created with a specified direction of protection between the paired sites. You can run an
Initiate Cancel Recovery Plan
workflow to cancel recovery or test on the recovery (receiving) site.
