Wondering if anyone has done this before where we need to failover an Org in vCloud Direcotor to a target vCloud Director as a DR. This would need to failover in a specific order as well has have some time delays between failovers. And ofcourse failback to finish it up. I have 28 sub-tenants that need this functionality. Any help would be appreciated. I just finished standing up the Veeam Orchestrator to see if that will work at all, it doesn’t look promising based on the documentation I’ve read so far. Currently we need to failover manually from the Replicas Ready view. A typical failover today would be 1. failover the fw 2. failover dc and check time upon powerup 3. failover other dependencies like sql or rdsgateway, then the remaining vms behind the dependencies or that don’t have one.

+21I was going to suggest VRO but you are already looking there. Veeam also has Replication for vCloud which you could look at too - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/vcloud_director_replication.html?ver=120
+21So then did you read about the failover ordering you can do? Not everything will be automated and there is probably some intervention required. But experimentation is key to test things.
I’m not seeing anything about failover ordering. I’ll check it/read it again though, still working on my coffee.

I am pretty sure there is for Replication and I am almost certain VRO has it for sure.
