#Test Failover and Reset Test Resources

Refer to the following sections on steps to test failover and reset the test results.

#Test Failover

To run test failover jobs, complete the following steps:

1. On the Replication page, select your target replication policy.

2. Click Test failover.

3. In the confirmation window, click OK. A test failover job will start based on the latest recovery point. You can go to Job monitor to check the job details, including the failed over resources and the error details.

Refer to the following tables for the details of test failover for each resource type.

#Microsoft Azure

Resource	Test Failover Details
Azure Kubernetes Service	Create Kubernetes clusters and disk storage in the policy's target environment.
My SQL flexible service	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the database replicated in the policy's target environment.
PostgreSQL flexible server	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the database replicated in the policy's target environment.
SQL database	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the database replicated in the policy's target environment.
Storage account	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the storage account replicated in the policy's target environment.
Web app	Create web app and related resources in the policy's target environment.
Virtual machine	Create virtual machine in the policy's target environment.
Virtual machine scale set	Create scale set and related resources in the policy's target environment.

#Amazon Web Services

Resource	Test Failover Details
Aurora and RDS database	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the database replicated in the policy's target environment.
DynamoDB	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the database replicated in the policy's target environment.
EC2 instance	Create EC2 instances and policies in the policy's target environment and apply the saved settings.
Elastic Beanstalk	Create the resources in the policy's target environment.
Elastic Kubernetes Service	Create Kubernetes cluster, disk storage, IAM role, and IAM policy related to the cluster in the target environment. *Note: If there are IAM role and policy with the same names, new ones will not be created.
S3 bucket	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the S3 bucket replicated in the policy's target environment.

#Google Cloud

Resource	Test Failover Details
Cloud storage	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the bucket replicated in the policy's target environment.
Kubernetes engine	Create Kubernetes cluster, disk storage, IAM role, and IAM principle and role of related instance. *Note: If there are IAM role and policy with the same names, new ones will not be created.
SQL instance	Apply metadata of the latest recovery point to the instance replicated in the policy's target environment.
Virtual Machine (VM) instance	Create VM instance, IAM roles, and IAM principles related to the instance. *Note: If there are IAM role and policy with the same names, new ones will not be created.

#Reset Test Failover

After running test failover jobs, you can reset the test failover data to save your cloud service usage caused by the failover tests.

Refer to the tables below for details on how each resource type is reset during test operations.

#Microsoft Azure

Resource	Reset Details
Azure Kubernetes Service	Delete the Kubernetes clusters and disk storage created in the policy's target environment.
MySQL flexible server	No action will be done to the replicated database. The applied settings will not be reverted.
PostgreSQL flexible server	No action will be done to the replicated database. The applied settings will not be reverted.
SQL database	No action will be done to the replicated database. The applied settings will not be reverted.
Storage account	No action will be done to the replicated storage account. The applied settings will not be reverted.
Web app	Delete the created web app and related resources created in the policy's target environment.
Virtual machine	Delete the virtual machine created in the policy's target environment.
Virtual machine scale set	Delete the scale set and related resources created in the policy's target environment

#Amazon Web Services

Resource	Reset Details
DynamoDB	No action will be done to the replicated storage account. The applied settings will not be reverted.
EC2 instance	Delete the EC2 instances and policies created in the policy's target environment.
Elastic Beanstalk	Delete the created resources created I the target environment.
Elastic Kubernetes Service	Delete the Kubernetes cluster and disk storage. The disk snapshot will be kept in the target resource group until the retention period ends. IAM role and policy created will not be deleted.
Aurora and RDS database	No action will be done to the replicated database. The applied settings will not be reverted.
S3 bucket	No action will be done to the replicated bucket. The applied settings will not be reverted.

#Google Cloud

Resource	Reset Details
Cloud storage	No action will be done to the replicated bucket. The applied settings will not be reverted.
Kubernetes engine	Delete Kubernetes clusters and disk storage. Snapshot will remain until the retention period ends. IAM role and policy created will not be deleted.
SQL instance	No action will be done to the replicated instance. The applied settings will not be reverted.
VM instance	Delete VM instance created. IAM role and policy will not be deleted.

#Run Reset Job

To reset the test failover data of a replication policy, complete the following steps:

1. On the Replication page, select the target policy that has run the test failover job.

2. Click Reset test resources.

3. In the confirmation window, click OK. A reset job will start to run. You can go to Job monitor to check the job details, including the failed over resources and the error details.
