Cancel a Disaster Recovery Plan Execution

You can cancel a Disaster Recovery (DR) plan execution to stop executing the plan. You cannot resume or retry a canceled DR plan execution.

Note:

Canceling in-progress plan executions can leave the components in the application stack in an inconsistent state. You may need to manually recover individual components in the application stack after you cancel a plan execution.

1. Navigate to the Resource page for the standby DR protection group.
2. Click the Plan Executions link in the Resources panel to navigate to the Plan Executions page for the DR protection group.
   A list of all DR plan executions and prechecks for the protection group is displayed.
3. The DR plan execution that is currently executing or paused is displayed at the top of the list.
4. Click the DR plan execution or precheck that is currently executing or paused to go to the page for the DR plan execution or precheck.
5. Click the Cancel button to cancel execution of the DR plan execution.
   The DR plan execution moves to a Canceled state after the currently executing plan group finishes execution. The DR protection group moves to a Needs Attention state after the DR plan execution is canceled.

A DR protection group in a Needs Attention state indicates that user intervention is required to resolve any underlying inconsistencies in the DR topology that may exist because DR plan execution was canceled. The DR Protection Group can be moved back to an Active state using the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Resource page for the standby DR protection group.
2. Click the More Actions menu and select Reset State to reset the DR Protection Group's state back to Active.

   Note:

   This state reset must be performed separately for each DR Protection Group in a pair of associated DR Protection Groups.
