Initiate Failover Recovery Plan

The workflow starts a disaster recovery failover from the protected to the recovery site through the selected recovery plan.
When completing a disaster recovery failover,
Site Recovery Manager
recovers virtual machines to the recovery site. If an error occurs on the protected site during operations, the disaster recovery failover continues and does not fail.
You can run the
Initiate Failover Recovery Plan
workflow on the recovery site.
The workflow performs a check for the recovery plan state when running. If the recovery plan is in state
ready
, you can run a failover.
