DR site IP/Networking

Post by stag1 »

I have a DR Site, with a Domain Controller, running DNS, DHCP. Has anyone tried setting production servers as DHCP with reservations?

If you failover, the servers pick up a new ip/gw/dns automatically.

Hello,
I see no reason why DHCP reservations should not work. The protocol does not care whether it gives an IP to a physical / virtual / replicated / restored network interface card.

To answer your question: no, I did not try it because it must work :-)

But it's easy to test: just click failover to one of your (test) VMs and and "undo failover" afterwards.

Best regards,
Hannes
