4.7.8 Site Recovery Manager Non-Disruptive Disaster Recovery Testing
The ability to perform non-disruptive testing can be a key requirement when defining any BCDR service offering. Site Recovery Manager enables this functionality by allowing the failover to happen without affecting the source virtual machines. The VMs are brought online in an isolated test network, which can be defined by Site Recovery Manager or can be created and mapped in advance.
Note This is a great opportunity for micro-segmentation with VMware NSX 6.2 to create an isolated VXLAN-based network with limited access to services to avoid any potential clashes on the network.
