About running the fire drill

Last published : Aug 05, 2026
The Fire Drill Wizard brings the fire drill service group online. Optionally, you can also run the fire drill using the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager console.
In a Volume Replicator environment, when running the fire drill, the VVRSnap agent does the following:
  • Detaches the mirrors from the original volumes to create point-in-time snapshots of the production data
  • Creates a fire drill disk group on the secondary site with a snapshot of the application data to use for testing purposes
