Skip a Step in Disaster Recovery Plan Execution

You can skip a step only when a Disaster Recovery (DR) plan execution is in a Failed state. A DR plan execution enters a Failed state when one of its steps fails to execute.

Note:

Failed steps in a precheck cannot be skipped because a failed precheck step does not stop execution of the precheck. To retry a failed step in a precheck, the entire precheck must be re-run.

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 most recent DR plan execution or precheck, which has failed, is displayed at the top of the list and has a state of Failed.
4. Click the failed DR plan execution or precheck to go to the page for the DR plan execution or precheck.
   A list of all plan groups in the DR plan execution or precheck is displayed.
5. Identify the failed plan group, which has a state of Failed.
6. Click the > symbol next to any plan group to expand the group and display the details for the steps in the group.
7. Identify the failed step, which has a state of Failed.
8. Click the 3-dot Action menu to the right of the failed step and select Skip to skip execution of the failed step.
   The plan execution resumes, skipping the failed step.
