WHAT IT DOES

What InstantUnstructuredDataShareSwitchover does on Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

AI agents invoke InstantUnstructuredDataShareSwitchover to trigger actions in Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why InstantUnstructuredDataShareSwitchover needs a policy

A switchover operation redirects active workloads from one file share to another (typically a restored/replicated target), which is an irreversible operational trigger with significant infrastructure impact. It falls under Execute as it initiates an external operation whose effects depend on the current state of the backup/replication environment.

From the tool's definition 'Start file share switchover' — triggers an external operational switchover of an unstructured data share in the Veeam backup infrastructure
