Troubleshooting Mode causes the selected VM in the SureBackup job to be powered on and remains on, despite possible test failures. This can be very useful for diagnosing internal connectivity issues in the lab and inspecting the appropriate values for Maximum allowed boot time and Application initialization timeout.

Note:

• Troubleshooting mode will force the selected VM and Application Group to remain Powered ON until the user clicks "Stop Session."
•  If the application group has already been powered off when troubleshooting mode is initiated, it will be started again.
• Troubleshooting mode can be initiated while the routine job is running or after it has been completed.
