I hear you. From an architecture perspective we aren't able to create the applicable test networks at the recovery site, and bubble networks will not provide us the accurate end-to-end application testing that is required. Believe me, I've been through all of those scenarios Smiley Happy. We're just not able (with this particular customer setup) able to do the type of robust application testing we require with a test failover. The business also wants to get the real feel for what an actual DR event will entail and look like. There are obviously a myriad of differences between a test and recovery, including shutting down production vm's, running certain scripts, the impact to replication being broken, ability for a successful mounting of the luns, etc. The test failover is handy, but not what is needed for what this customer is looking to achieve.
