Exam VMCE 2021 topic 1 question 14 discussion

Planned failover like the word says it's for planned situation. Perform Failover it's the right answer.

"Failover Now: Failover now refers to an immediate response to an unexpected system or service failure. In this case, the primary system or service experiences an unplanned outage or becomes unavailable, and the failover process is triggered immediately to shift the workload to a secondary system or service."

With Site A offline there is no way of "planned failover" so no incremental pass and a final with the VMs shut down. Failover with the latest state already replicated to Site B is the only option.

- Failover Now = Turns on the latest replica. workload from source VM is not migrated so we actually have some data loss depends on when the last replication was done. - Planned Failover = Moves all workload in from source vm to replica. Powers off source vm and the replica is now acting same as the source VM. Answer is B

The correct way to start replicated VMs on Site B while ensuring you can failback after Site A comes back online is to perform a "Planned failover". This option ensures that the replication process is stopped and all changes made to the VM on Site B are not replicated back to Site A. This will prevent any data loss or conflicts when Site A comes back online. After the failover is completed, the administrator can work on restoring Site A to its normal state. Once Site A is back online, a "Planned failback" can be performed to move the VMs back to Site A.
