Abstract
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include receiving a command to perform a failover workflow for a plurality of logical storage devices from a protected site to a recovery site. A first logical storage device within the plurality of logical storage devices is determined to be a stretched storage device. In response to the failover command, a site preference for the first logical storage device is switched from the protected site to the recovery site. The failover includes a live migration of a virtual machine that resides on the first logical storage device. The live migration is performed without interruption to one or more services provided by the virtual machine. The site preference for the first logical storage device is switched prior to performing the live migration of the virtual machine.
