services / Azure / Site Recovery recovery plan unplanned failover

Triggers an unplanned failover of all protected items in a recovery plan to their recovery region, without a graceful source shutdown.

An unplanned failover of a recovery plan forcibly relocates every workload in the plan to the recovery site at once, a broad disruption that also moves the workloads into their configured recovery networks.
