Dears:

We will do “Test Failover” in Prism for a recovery plan. My question is: How to know "Test Failover" brings which recover point for Disaster Recovery (formerly Leap)?

The latest available recovery point? The first available recovery point?

Correct. It will always use the latest recovery point created with a protection policy. 

 

If you do the actual failover you can choose a planned failover. And then there will always be a newly snapshot/recovery point created so that there is no dataloss.

Hi Jeroen:

Thanks. I have another question: If we have different VMs which have different latest snapshot(For example, VM1’s latest snapshot: 10:00. VM2’s latest snapshot: 10:30.) Does the actual “Test Failover” will online VM1’s 10:00 snapshot and VM2’s latest snaphsot: 10:30?

 

Thanks!
