Hello,
We’ve recently been testing LiveSync and one of the tests we did was to turn off the primary test server (unplanned failover) and see if it would automatically start to failover onto the secondary test server, which it didn’t and we manually started the failover.
I was wondering if this is a feature which is being looked at potentially by Commvault in the future.
Many Thanks,
Craig

The unplanned failover is still a manual operation, the concern from
Automatic failover was introduced in FR25

This will not be available in FR24 but you will still be able to perform a manual failover.
+5Hi
The Unplanned failover is already incluided into the CS LiveSync feature.
Check CV’s official documentation to get more information about this kind of failover:

I may be incorrect, checking the documentation i see it is showing available in FR24 it may have been backported since I last checked.

Was the feature enabled when you performed this test?
+5I meant to say that this is already available, but as a manual procedure, that is true. Thank you for the clarification.
