After setting up the initial replication options, StorageMAP goes through the first scan and first copy and reaches Steady state. A failover event can be started once the steady state is reached. In a planned failover, since the source is still online, a final copy iteration will be executed, and the latest share and export definitions are queried and transferred to the target.
