Arrghh. Other admin started replicas manually.

Post by Fwiler »

Had power outage on server 1 which held all production vm's.
Many vm's were corrupted after power was restored.

Admin started replica vm's on server 2 by manually starting them instead of using veeam to run failover.
They all work fine, but now I'm out of sync with veeam.

If I run failover on ready replicas listed in veeam, will veeam 'see' that they are running on 2nd server and show them as active failover?
Or do I need to move the running replicas on server 2 back to server 1 and create new replication jobs?

Backup server won't be aware of activities performed outside its console, so, you will need to replicate this VM back to production to preserve changes done after manual failover. Thanks.

You can map the new replication jobs to existing VMs on server 1, this will require digests recalculation, however, only changes will be transferred after that (if the amount of traffic is your concern).
