VMware SRM 6.5 failover while a test is running?

[romatlo32]

Hello folks,

The company I work for runs SRM tests successfully into an isolated network.

They leave it running for weeks/months at a time because they like to run other application type tests in there since it is a production duplicate.

Question:

If a real DR scenario comes up and need to run a real failover, would it fail if there is an active SRM Test running?

No, When you are performing a recovery plan test, the workflow is in running status. SRM cannot start the same(failover) workflow until the test workflow has been completed.
