A power outage on Site A is expected during the night. The disaster recovery strategy has been implemented (see diagram). What is the correct way to start replicated VMs on Site B to minimize data loss?

The correct way to start replicated VMs on Site B to minimize data loss is to execute a 'Planned failover.' This option is appropriate when you anticipate an upcoming power outage and need to proactively switch the workload from the original VMs to their replicas. This method ensures a controlled switchover with minimal data loss, as all changes are replicated up to the point of failover. Powering on VMs manually or using permanent failover are not as suitable in this scenario, as they do not provide the same level of proactive control and minimized data loss.
B. Planned failover is helpful when you know that your primary VMs are about to go offline and you need to proactively switch the workload from original VMs to their replicas. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/archive/backup/110/vsphere/planned_failover.html
b is correct
it's planned
Agreed - Planned Failover fits the description better.
Correct is "B"
B is correct. it's not a because you have to failover using Veeam, not vCenter
B. Execute "Planned failover". (not Failover Plan, coz we know the Situation will come soon)
A - Permanently changes the source to a replica. B - Use when you manually initiate the change, generally when you know there will be a problem and act preventatively. C - It seems to be ideal, since everything happened overnight. D - When you have a plan.
Sorry, is B, there is no vcenter.
