Hello All,
I have set up SRM using storage replication and both my sites are connected. Now I am ready to do my first recovery test. I have a question. I am sorry if the question is stupid as this is the first time i am doing this.
If i check the recovery steps under recovery plan in srm plugin in vcenter, i can see my protected vms power on priority. If i configure the vm and goto IP settings, I can set the IP address of this VM at protected site as well as recovery site.
Q1) If I do not check customize IP during recovery option, then will the machine automatically get the new IP at the recovery site using dhcp? If yes, the will it get the ip from the correct subnet which it is a part of in vcenter (vlan)?
Q2) If I set the recover ip manually then after the failover when VM is started at the recovery site, what happens to the old DNS entry? The vm will try to make a new dns entry with same hostname but different ip while as the old entry still exists.
Thanks - AG
