We have a Sangfor Enterprise Edition License. Can we perform automated DR Drill with this license which we have or do we need any additional license for Sangfor HCI?

Yes, Sangfor HCI does support automated Disaster Recovery (DR) drills, but whether you can perform them with your current Enterprise Edition license depends on the specific components included in your license.
Key Points from Sangfor Documentation:


Automated DR Drill Capability:

Sangfor HCI includes built-in DR orchestration and rehearsal features.
These allow for automated DR drills without disrupting production workloads.
The system supports 1-click failover, incremental failback, and visualized DR monitoring, which are essential for automated DR drills. [sangfor.com]



Licensing Requirements:

The DR functionality in Sangfor HCI is tied to the aDR license.
The base aDR license includes support for 5 VMs.
If you need to protect more than 5 VMs, you’ll need to purchase additional DR VM licenses.
The CDP (Continuous Data Protection) feature is automatically activated with the DR license. [security.a...s-mena.com], [slideshare.net]



Enterprise Edition License:

If your Enterprise Edition license already includes the aDR module, then you can perform automated DR drills.
If not, you will need to purchase the aDR license separately to enable this functionality.
