I will automate failover of storage or servers

There sometimes comes a need to simplify complex operations, in this case failover and failback operations of SAN storage replication between sites (e.g. production and DR), for reasons such as letting operators or the less technically-inclined colleagues to more easily perform the operations in case of disasters or drill tests. To solve that, I have written and shared a set of PowerShell script*.

Written primarily in PowerShell, this package contains a set of SAN storage failover and failback scripts for Microsoft Failover Cluster (including VMware ESXi, vCenter and Hyper-V cluster). Not only does it perform storage failover and failback, services running on top of it such as databases and virtual machines can also be catered.

Moreover, it features a user-friendly interactive console menu, where complex operations are handled by the scripts in the backend.

*I have shared my creation (script template) few years ago on Microsoft TechNet Gallery. However, it requires further development, and this service covers that directly from the author of the PowerShell script.
