Create Disaster Recovery Plan Executions

You can manually create a Disaster Recovery (DR) plan execution to start executing a DR plan.

1. Navigate to the Resource page for the standby DR protection group.
2. Click the Plans link in the Resources panel to navigate to the Plans page for the DR protection group.
3. Click the Execute DR plan button to launch the Execute DR plan dialog.
4. Select Enable prechecks to enable the execution of prechecks before you execute the actual switchover or failover plan.
   The Ignore warnings selection box is reserved for future use.
5. Optionally, enter a name for the DR plan execution.
6. Click Execute DR plan to start plan execution.

   Note:

   When new resources are created during the switchover or failover (DrPlanExecution) operations, the new resources will retain the name of the original resources. However, the new resources will have an additional Free-form Tag added to that name.
