Reversing Windows ESX to ESX jobs

Reversing protection allows you to protect your source replica virtual servers on the target back to the original source ESX host. Your original source ESX host must have a licensed Virtual Recovery Appliance like your original target ESX host.

  1. On the Manage Jobs page, highlight the jobs that you want to reverse and click Reverse in the toolbar. The flow of mirroring and replication data will change. Data will be transmitted from the replica virtual machines on the target back to the original source ESX host.
  2. After the reverse is complete, your source replicas on the target are being protected to your original source ESX host. In the event you want to go back to your original server roles and hardware configuration, you can failover again.
