Testing ASR

Before getting started with testing the failover, it is recommended to create a virtual network on which the failover VM will be located.

To test the failover, you have to follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Recovery Services vault, then go to Replicated items, select the VM you want to test the failover for, and then click on Test Failover.
2. You will be navigated to a new blade, where you have to specify which virtual network the VM will be located in.

3. Once you have clicked on OK, the failover process will start performing the following tasks:
   1. Prerequisites check for test failover.
   2. Creating a test environment.
   3. Creating a test virtual machine.
   4. Preparing the virtual machine.
   5. Starting the virtual machine.
   6. Complete testing: this task will require user interaction by clicking on Complete testing.
   7. Cleaning up the test virtual machine.
   8. Cleaning up the test environment...
