Hey guys, this is query related to failover plan. Is failover plan dependent on replication job? When u select failover plan, u can select from replicas or infrastructure. From infrastructure option, can we select the VMs which are not replicated?

I think these options are just two ways to select your dependent VMs for the failover plan. With many replication jobs it could be difficult to find the neccessary VMs in the replication jobs.

Without an existing replica you cannot failover.

Without a replica, there is nothing to failover.

First create the replicas, then create the failover plan.

What about the infrastructure option present? Should we selected replicated VMs from that option?

Doesn‘t really matter if you select it from Replica or infrastructure. With both options, you have single vms in the list.
