8.2.2 Failover

If a replicated virtual machines crashes, you can start it quickly by running replica VM (Failover). The
Failover feature helps you to get the critical service up and running even before the failed VM is
recovered.

Select the replica VM you want to start and click the Failover button in the ribbon menu. In the
drop-down menu, select if you want to use the network on the replica VM. If the original VM is
running, you can choose to Stop the Original VM before Failover. Then click Run.
