3.4 Workload Protection and Recovery Commands

Commands reflect the workflow of workload protection and recovery. To perform a command for a workload, select the corresponding check box at the left. Applicable commands depend on the current state of a workload.

Figure 3-3 Workload Commands

Table 3-2 summarizes workload commands along with their functional descriptions.

Table 3-2 Workload Protection and Recovery Commands

Workload Command	Description
Configure	Starts the workload protection configuration with parameters applicable to an inventoried workload.
Prepare Replication	Installs required data transfer software on the source and creates a failover workload (a virtual machine) on the target container in preparation for workload replication.
Run Replication	Starts replicating the workload according to specified parameters (full replication).
Run Incremental	Performs an incremental transfer of changed data from the source to the target outside the workload protection contract.
Pause Schedule	Suspends the protection; all scheduled replications are skipped until the schedule is resumed.
Resume Schedule	Resumes the protection according to saved protection settings.
Test Failover	Boots and configures the failover workload in an isolated environment within the container for testing purposes.
Prepare for Failover	Boots the failover workload in preparation for a failover operation.
Run Failover	Boots and configures the failover workload, which takes over the business services of a failed workload.
Cancel Failover	Aborts the failover process.
Failback	Following a failover operation, fails the failover workload back to its original infrastructure or to a new infrastructure (virtual or physical).
Reprotect	Following a successful Failback operation, the Reprotect option becomes available.
Remove Workload	Removes a workload from the inventory.
