# Exercise 6: Failover Testing ## Overview In this exercise, you'll learn how to perform and manage failover tests for your VPGs. You'll understand the testing process and how to monitor test status. ## Objectives - Initiate failover tests - Monitor test status - Stop running tests - Handle test results ## Time 10 minutes ## Prerequisites - Completed Exercise 5 - Working VPG - Access to test resources ## Exercise Steps 1. Select a VPG for testing 2. Initiate a failover test 3. Monitor test progress 4. Stop the test 5. Review test results ## Working Directory The `working` directory contains: - `failover.py` - Template to complete ## Solution The `solution` directory contains: - `failover.py` - Complete working example ## Key Concepts - Failover testing - Test monitoring - Test management - Status tracking ## Common Issues - Test initiation failures - Resource conflicts - Test timeout - Cleanup issues ## Next Steps Proceed to Exercise 7: Bulk Operations to learn about managing multiple VMs.
