HP 3PAR Replication Adapter 4.0.1 for VMware Site Recovery Manager Implementation Guide 10.0 Failover Failover is a process within the VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager and occurs when a protected site virtual infrastructure is replicated to the recovery site. The HP 3PAR Storage System has Remote Copy Primary role at the protected site and Remote Copy Secondary role at the recovery site in an event of a failover.
HP 3PAR Replication Adapter 4.0.1 for VMware Site Recovery Manager Implementation Guide The failover plan executes at the recovery site and replicates the protected site’s virtual infrastructure. The HP 3PAR Replication Adapter reverses the Remote Copy role of storage systems and delivers all replicated volumes in a failover recovery plan to the recovery site ESX host(s).
HP 3PAR Replication Adapter 4.0.1 for VMware Site Recovery Manager Implementation Guide After a failover, the recovery site can be viewed as the new protected site. 10.

HP 3PAR Replication Adapter 4.0.1 for VMware Site Recovery Manager Implementation Guide 11.0 Failback Failback is a reverse of a failover and a process in the VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager when the recovery site virtual infrastructure is replicated back to the protected site. During failback, the original recovery site acts as the protected site and the original protected site acts as the recovery site. 11.
HP 3PAR Replication Adapter 4.0.1 for VMware Site Recovery Manager Implementation Guide 11.2 Procedure after Failback At the new protected site, start and sync the Remote Copy volume group. # startrcopygroup srm_1 # syncrcopy srm_1 Synchronization request issued for group srm_1 task ID = 383 384 385 386 387 388 11.3 Cleanup after Failback 1 At the new protected site, delete the failover recovery plan. 2 At the new recovery site: a Delete failover protection group.
