Adding a new simulation

To add a new simulation, complete the procedure:

1. From the dashboard, navigate to System > Simulation.
   The Simulation page displays.
2. Click + to create a new simulation.
3. Enter a relevant Simulation Name and provide a date until when this simulation will be active in the Simulation Until Date field.
   Note:

   • You can select a date from the current date up to a date within six months from the current date.
   • The Simulation Until Date must be always greater than the start date of any event.
4. Click Add to select an event from the drop-down list to be simulated.
   For details to add an event, see Adding a protection group, Adding a node, Editing the storage domain, and Removing a protection group.
   You can create multiple events in this simulation page.
   Note: The following options in the Add simulation list are currently unavailable:

   • Add View
   • Edit Policy
   • Edit Protection Group
5. Click Run.
   After a successful run, the simulation is populated in the Simulation dashboard.
   Note:

   • If the simulation fails, the data is not populated and a “Failed” status is displayed. You have an option to rerun the simulation. Currently, a failed simulation cannot be edited before re-run.
   • While the simulation execution is in progress, users can navigate out of the simulations interface and revisit the simulation page later.
