# Step 3F - Full failover vAPP1 (VM - APP1 & VM - DB1) from on-premise site to HI GIO
## **Overview**
If the protected site (on-premises) is **unavailable**. In the HI GIO cloud, you can perform a workload disaster recovery operation (full failover)
## **Procedure**
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Step 1:** Log on to the HI GIO portal.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 2:** Expand **More** > Click on **Availability ()**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 3:** Click on **Incoming Replications >** Check the checkbox for VM **APP1** > Expand **ALL ACTIONS** > Click on **Failover**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**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**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 5:** Configure Recovery Instance for Failover
Click **SELECT LATEST FOR EVERY VM** > **NEXT**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 6:** Review and **FINISH**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 7:** Expectation result:
1. Failover in Progress: In the Detailed Status, you will notice Failover **in Progress with %** progress.
2. 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**

## Validate - vAPP1 (VM APP1 & DB1)
In this scenario, on-premise has issues: network, hardware host, and storage… that make it not available.
## **Procedure**
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Step 1:** Log on to the HI GIO portal: *select vAPP1* > **Virtual machines**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 2:** Confirm that 02 VMs, APP1 & DB1, were migrated to HI GIO and are running.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**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.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 4:** Point domain name to APP1 (public DNS record if needed).
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 5:** Access to APP1 via the internet (in my case, I used a public IP).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
