Due to an unexpected power outage, Site A is completely down. The disaster recovery strategy was implemented (see diagram).
What is the correct way to start replicated VMs on Site B, while ensuring you can failback after Site A comes back online?

What is the correct way to start replicated VMs on Site B, while ensuring you can failback after Site A comes back online?
To ensure the continuity of services after the unexpected power outage at Site A and to be able to failback once Site A comes back online, the correct action is to perform a 'Failover'. Failover in disaster recovery refers to the process of shifting services from the affected primary site to a standby secondary site (Site B in this case). This process ensures that the replicated virtual machines (VMs) at Site B take over the operations from Site A. While powering on VMs manually or performing instant VM recovery can bring the VMs online, these methods do not handle the state synchronization and proper failback mechanisms adequately like a 'Failover' does.

C. Perform “Failover”.
yes, answer C is correct
