Exercise 4. Running a Recovery Plan
SRM enables you to Run a recovery plan that will result in the actual failover of virtual machines from the
protected site. Similar to test recovery, failover operations are triggered via a button in the SRM UI on the
recovery site. The failover process via SRM is rapid, repeatable, reliable, manageable, and auditable.
