Power on the Virtual Standby VM on Nutanix AHV

After Backup and Virtual Standby tasks are completed successfully, Virtual standby can be configured to power on virtual standby machines from recovery point snapshots automatically when the monitoring server does not detect a heartbeat from the source server. Optionally, you can power on virtual standby machines from recovery point snapshots manually in the event a source server fails, an emergency occurs, or you want to offline a source node for maintenance.

Follow these steps:

1. From the resources tab, navigate to the Virtual Standby node group.
2. The virtual standby nodes are displayed on the center pane.
2. On the center pane, select the node and click Standby VM.
3. The Standby VM dialog opens.
3. On the Standby VM dialog, perform the following tasks:
• Select a date and time snapshot of the recovery point snapshot to power on the virtual machine.
• Click Power On VM.
• The virtual machine is powered on using the data contained in the recovery point snapshot on Nutanix AHV VM.
