4 Determine whether to enable Force Cleanup and click Next.
This option is only available after you have run reprotect once and errors occured. Enabling this option
forces the removal of virtual machines, ignoring errors, and returns the recovery plan to the ready state.
5 Review the reprotect information and click Finish.
6 In the Monitor tab, click Recovery Steps to monitor the reprotect operation until it finishes.
7 (Optional) If necessary, rerun reprotect until it finishes without errors.
At the end of the reprotect operation, Site Recovery Manager has reversed replication, so that the
original recovery site, site B, is now the protected site.
8 (Optional) After the test completes, right-click the recovery plan and select Cleanup to clean up the
recovery plan.
9 Right-click the recovery plan and select Recovery to run the recovery plan as a planned migration.
10 In the Monitor tab, click Recovery Steps to monitor the planned migration until it finishes.
The planned migration shuts down the virtual machines on the new protected site, site B, and starts up
the virtual machines on the new recovery site, site A. If necessary, rerun the planned migration until it
finishes without errors.
When the planned migration completes, the virtual machines are running on the original protected site,
site A, but the virtual machines are not protected. The virtual machines on the original recovery site,
site B, are powered off.
11 Right-click the recovery plan and select Reprotect and follow the instructions of the wizard to perform
a second reprotect operation.
Running reprotect again reestablishes protection in the original direction from before the recovery.
You restored the protected and recovery sites to their original configuration before the recovery. The
protected site is site A, and the recovery site is site B.
