Description

The Start-AzRecoveryServicesAsrTestFailoverJob cmdlet starts test failover of an Azure Site Recovery replication protected item or recovery plan. You can check whether the job succeeded by using the Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrJob cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

$currentJob = Start-AzRecoveryServicesAsrTestFailoverJob -RecoveryPlan $RP -Direction PrimaryToRecovery -VMNetwork $TestRecoveryNetwork

Starts the test failover operation for the recovery plan with the specified parameters and returns the ASR job used to track the operation.

Example 2

Starts a test failover operation. (autogenerated)
