Failing over agentless vSphere jobs

When you are ready to failover, you can start it manually from the console.

1. On the Manage Jobs page, highlight the job that you want to failover and click Failover or Cutover in the toolbar.
2. Select the type of failover to perform.
• Failover to live data—Select this option to initiate a full, live failover using the last complete replication cycle. This option will shutdown the source machine (if it is online), stop the protection job, and start the replica virtual machine on the target with full network connectivity.
• Perform test failover—This option is not available for agentless vSphere jobs.
• Failover to a snapshot—Select this option to initiate a full, live failover without using the last replication cycle. Instead, select a snapshot and the data on the target will be reverted to that snapshot. This option will not be available if there are no snapshots on the target.
3. Normally, you would select how you want to handle the data in the target queue. However, these options are not curently available.
4. When you are ready to begin failover, click Failover.
