If the protected site (on-premises) is unavailable. In the HI GIO cloud, you can perform a workload disaster recovery operation (full failover)
Step 1: Log on to the HI GIO portal.
Step 2: Expand More > Click on Availability ()
Step 3: Click on Incoming Replications > Check the checkbox for VM APP1 > Expand ALL ACTIONS > Click on Failover
Step 4: Configure Recovery Settings for Failover
- Instances handing after recovery: Default.
- Power Settings: Power on recovered vApps.
- Network Settings: Apply preconfigured network settings on migrating.
Click NEXT
Step 5: Configure Recovery Instance for Failover
Click SELECT LATEST FOR EVERY VM > NEXT
Step 6: Review and FINISH
Step 7: Expectation result:
Failover in Progress: In the Detailed Status, you will notice Failover in Progress with % progress.
Failover successfully: This process will take a couple of minutes. Please be patient.
After the failover task finishes, the failed over workload runs in the HI GIO cloud.
Confirm that all VMs in vAPP1:
- Recovery State = Failed-Over.
- Replication Type = On-Premise Protection
- Overall health = Green
In this scenario, on-premise has issues: network, hardware host, and storage… that make it not available.
Step 1: Log on to the HI GIO portal: select vAPP1 > Virtual machines.
Step 2: Confirm that 02 VMs, APP1 & DB1, were migrated to HI GIO and are running.
Step 3: Change default gateway for APP1 & DB1 (on-prem network is problem)
Logon APP1 & DB1 by admin local > change default gateway and validate that APP1 & DB1 can be reachable.
Step 4: Point domain name to APP1 (public DNS record if needed).
Step 5: Access to APP1 via the internet (in my case, I used a public IP).
