Failover doesn't work

[atta]

Hello,

Today I tried to run a test failover. Replica was active in veeam snapshots was created but replica VM on replica server was off. It want start replica vm.

Can anyone help with this, please?

So you have a successfully finished replication job and try to perform failover via Veeam B&R but the replica VM does not start? Do you get any error messages or something?

Hello,

No i didn't get any error message. I have successfully finished rep job but when I start failover i want start replica vm. It will create snapshot and it will not shutdown or pause primary VM.

Replica Vm is off.

Original VM is not shut down automatically on failover. In a real DR situation (when it is required to start replica VM) it is already off, so to test failover you should shut it down manually.

Okay, I will try that asap

Thank you Foggy

That said, the fact that replica VM is not started on failover should be investigated closer. Though it's not 100% clear what do you mean saying that it is off, probably it is worth contacting support so they could verify your actions.
