Answer 1

There are two cases to consider when you fail over to a DR site:

1. You need the SAP HANA database to go back to the latest status of data. In this case, there's a self-service script with which you can perform the fail-over without the need to contact Microsoft. For the failback, you need to work with Microsoft.
2. You want to restore to a storage snapshot that's not the latest replicated snapshot. In this case, you need to work with Microsoft.
