Virtual conversion is the process where virtual standby converts the Arcserve UDP recovery points from source nodes to virtual machine formats named recovery point snapshots. In the event a source node fails, the virtual standby feature uses the recovery point snapshots to power on a virtual machine for the source node.
As a best practice, allow the virtual conversion process to operate continuously. However, if you want to pause the virtual conversion process on local and remote virtual standby servers temporarily, you can do so from the Console. After you correct the problems on the source node, you can resume the virtual conversion process.
When you pause virtual standby jobs (conversion jobs), the pause operation does not pause the conversion job that is currently in progress. The pause operation applies to only the job that is expected to run at the end of the next backup job. As a result, the next conversion job does not start until you explicitly resume the (paused) conversion job.
If you resume virtual standby for nodes and if there are multiple backup sessions without recovery point snapshot, you will get a dialog to select the smart copy option. If you click Yes, virtual standby will convert the combined session into a single recovery point snapshot. If you click No, virtual standby will convert each session individually
Follow these steps:
If you have added any nodes, then the nodes will be displayed in the center pane.
The virtual standby function for the selected node is paused or resumed.
