They'll be running test during failover. They're a little paranoid anytime someone mentions they're Protected Site storage will be overwritten with changed data (rightfully so). In an actual event this wouldn't be a consideration, but we're just testing (although a real test involving real data). The planned migration still uses actual real vm's with data they are paranoid of possible corruption on failback. Of course we could create fake vm's, but it defeats the purpose of testing actual real workloads.
Appreciate the feedback but even running a test with the vm's connected to the production networks defeats the purpose of not performing an actual failover followed by failback. Ultimately, it's that specific workflow using real data that is desired. I've communicated back to the business exactly what a failback will do, so there is no confusion. A decision is being made on how they want to proceed. It may just be more stringent backup procedures before the failover. Thanks very much for the feedback.
