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.

   Enable the Ignore warnings option selection box and the DR plan execution will be completed with the Partially succeeded status if there are warnings during the plan execution. If you disable the Ignore warnings option, then the DR plan execution fails if there are warnings.

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.
