Validations performed before migration plan execution

Before a plan is executed, validations are performed in order to check the state of the clusters, service groups, and the resources monitoring the disk groups.

In some scenarios:

  • If the validation fails, the plan will be marked as an Invalid Plan.

  • Even though the plan is marked as Invalid, the plan can be executed after taking necessary corrective steps.

  • After taking the corrective steps, you must edit the plan before executing it.

Table: Validations performed lists the validations performed before a plan is executed and the state of the plan if the validation fails. It also lists when the plan will be marked as invalid or not and the necessary corrective steps.
