For details on server switchover, refer to "Chapter 4 Server Switchover" in the "Operation Guide VE".
When using the server switchover function, design the area used for each domain so that it can be referred to in the same way both before and after switchover.
For server switchover, use an area that can be referred to for the access path that is the target of switchover.
When using the server switchover function, guest domains are not automatically started.
Perform configuration so that guest domains are automatically started when control domains are started after server switchover.
