How to enable Automated DR Testing the Eyeglass Runbook Robot Feature

Many organizations schedule DR tests during maintenance windows and weekends, only to find out that the DR procedures did not work or documentation needed to be updated.  Eyeglass Runbook Robot feature automates DR runbook procedures that would normally be scheduled in off peak hours, and avoids down time to validate DR procedures, providing Failover and Failback automation tests with reporting.

This level of automation provides high confidence that your PowerScale storage is ready for failover with all of the key functions executed on a daily basis.   In addition to automating failover and failback, Eyeglass operates as a cluster witness and mounts storage on both source and destination clusters the same way the cluster users and machines mount storage externally using Access Zone mount paths.

The feature exercises maximum automation used in Access Zone Failover (Advanced mode) or a basic Quick start more that only uses SyncIQ policy failover mode.
