Failover scenarios of RP4VM on VxRail
This section will discuss some failover scenarios of RP4VM, including a faulty vRPA, a faulty journal, replication links disconnected, a faulty plugin server, and a faulty vCenter Server instance.
Failure scenario 1
Figure 9.12 shows local replication of RP4VM. Which status will the protected VMs trigger if vRPA-1 is faulty in the vRPA cluster?

The running VMs can still be running in the VxRail cluster, and the services of vRPA-1 will fail over to vRPA-2. The location replication can continue to execute. You can still manage all operational tasks of RP4VM within vCenter Server. The next section will discuss another failure scenario.
Failure scenario 2
Figure 9.13 shows local replication of RP4VM. Which status will the protected VMs trigger if the connection of journal volumes is disconnected?
