+20Here is your VTT question for the week. Please hide your comments and good luck!
+7Since site A is completely down, none of the functions from within VBR will be available. That eliminates options a, and c. d isn’t a valid choice. Leaving only one option.
b. Power on VMs manually through vCenter

+21B. Power on VMs manually through vCenter
+5In Site A is completely down is only option for my opinion.
+11Power on VMs manually through vCenter
+5b - Power on VMs manually through vCenter
+10Since A is completely down, there is no VBR on Site B - there’s no option to execute a failover plan.
Nice question btw.
b - Power on VMs manually through vCenter - only options since A is “Toast” and no VBR at DR site for recovery

+20The answer for the VTT question this week is below…
To learn more about the terms for this question, see:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/failover_failback.html?ver=120
So, all terms listed in a., c., and d. are valid Replication recovery terms and tools you can use. But do all apply for DR purposes? And more specifically, do they apply to the requirements stated and shown for this question? Let’s start with a. Execute a Failover Plan. This is actually the most correct of all of the 3 terms listed. You utilize Failover Plans (an automated way to power on Replicated VMs at a DR location) when there is an outage of some sort at a “CO” location. But, can it be used here? Planned Failovers as suggested in c. are not really a DR-based failover action. They’re more for testing updates or testing a failover event, not for an “unknown/unplanned” failover event. So that one is incorrect. D. Execute a Permanent Failover from vCenter is not a valid answer here as this is a potential final option to a failover task (Permanent or Undo or Failback), and this task is done via Veeam, not vCenter. Because of that, this option isn’t correct. That leaves 2 options → a. and b. B. should never be done when possible as doing so will cause Veeam not able to be used to finalize failovers and do failback operations when sites are restored. But in this case, it is really the only option because Veeam isn’t available to do a. Execute a Failover Plan because Site A is down. Thus, the correct answer is b. Power on VMs manually through vCenter
Let me know if you all have further questions on this one.
