Replication DR Testing

[mtoms]

Hi,

I'm looking to setup replication to a DR site and I was wondering if there is a way to bring up the replicated VMs in a vlab and access them for testing purposes without initiating a live failover of the production site?

I know you can setup automated sure backup tasks to verify the state of the replicated VMs but I ideally want to interact with the DR environment to test the process.

Cheers

You can start SureReplica job and leave the VMs from the application group running to play around with them. Thanks.

Hi v.Eremin,

Thanks for the response. Can you clarify if it is possible to interact with the VMs running inside the surereplica job for an external network?

For example I have citrix servers that I am replicating, so wondered if I can connect to these from a client to run a remote session?

Thanks

Matt

You can use static routing to achieve that.
