In this post we will go through the steps of Recover from a Disaster for protected VM's from Main site to DR site,

In this scenario we assume that we lost the Main site (No access to Main Site anymore) and we need to recover from the DR site,

From DR Site go to Data Protection page, select the protection domain you need to recover and select "Activate"

You will get a message to confirm that you want to activate the protection domain, Click Yes!

After a while, your VM's will appear in VM page in Power off status

All what you need to do now is to power on your VM's and start using it from DR Site
