(Optional) Perform a Manual Switchover

If you chose the manual switchover type, the recovery scenario restores applications and data but does not perform the switchover process. To switch over, select the scenario and initiate the switchover process manually.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to Arcserve RHA as an Administrator and open the RHA Manager.
2. Select the recovery scenario from the Scenario pane. Verify that the scenario is running.
3. Click Perform Switchover from the RHA Manager toolbar.

   A confirmation message appears.

4. Click Yes.

The switchover process is initiated. The switchover process shuts down the replica and restarts the bare metal machine as the master server with all required applications and data.
