Once the VMs are powered on and the OS heartbeat has been detected, the test failover plan stops and a yellow
continue banner is displayed. To verify the functionality of the failed-over VMs, select the Host and Clusters view by
typing Ctrl-Shift-H. You will see the VMs powered on under the Recovery Site resource tree. You can open a console to
one of the VMs and log in to verify functionality of the guest.
NOTE: Because this is a test failover, network resource configuration has not been applied to the VMs. Therefore,
you cannot access any other network resources from these VMs.
Once you are satisfied with the operation of the VMs, return to the Site Recovery view and click on the Cleanup link to
clean up the test failover. Clicking on this link powers off the test VMs and removes the virtual disk snapshots and
