When a failover condition has been met, failover will be triggered automatically if you configured automatic failover when establishing protection. If you configured manual intervention before failover, you can failover your protection from the console you used to establish protection. If you are protecting host-level virtual disk files (the .vmdk files) from an ESX source to an ESX target, you will need to use the Double-Take Availability for VMware Infrastructure console to initiate failover. For all other virtual workloads, use the Double-Take Console to initiate failover.
