Running a failover procedure

The IBM DS8000 SRA completely automates the failover procedure.
DS8000 SRA does a failover of the Metro/Global Mirror/Metro-Global Mirror
target volumes to the recovery (secondary) site during a failover operation. The
Metro/Global Mirror/Metro-Global Mirror target volumes are promoted to the
VMware ESX Server as production volumes.
During an SRA preconfigured failover procedure, the preconfigured FlashCopy is
resynchronized.
