The workflow starts a test of the selected recovery plan.

The workflow performs a check for the recovery plan state when running. If the recovery plan is in state ready, you can run a test.

Recovery plans are created with a specified direction of protection between the paired sites. You can run the Initiate Test Recovery Plan workflow on the recovery site. After a test of a recovery plan, you must run a cleanup of the recovery plan to return it to its original state.
