Performing a failback to an SRM protected site

In a scenario wherein, after a failover the original protected site is fixed and is made available to host the virtual machine workload, you can use SRM to automate a failback.

The failback, although automated, is a two-step process:

Step 1 will be to perform a reprotect. Read the Reprotecting an SRM site section in this chapter, to learn how to perform a reprotect operation.
Step 2 will be to perform a failover. Read the Performing a disaster recovery (failover) section in this chapter to learn how to perform a failover.
