failback to production?

[darphboubou]

Hi,

One of our VM (in production environment) encounter an issue. So my manager rename this VM (the hostname was toto and it was replace by tototmp)change her IP address and SID. After that he launch a failover on the replica of this VM (from an older backup) .

So actually the two VM are up with different hostname,IP,sid (the original one and the replica).

The question is, if we made a failback to production of the vm, veeam will be able to replace tototmp by the replica name toto (which don't have the same IP address and sid)?

Hi -

Yes, just select tototmp as the failback target.

It is still the same original VM, just with different in-guest settings, if I understood you correctly. But those settings are stored in the virtual disks, which will be overwritten with the failback process anyway.

See here > Step 3. Select Failback Destination (you need to use the second option)

Thanks!

hi,

Just a last question, if the failback to production doesn't work ( and i didn't already make the commit) can i come back to the state before the failback to production?

Yes, you can do that before you execute Commit Failback operarion.

Hi, always a question about the failback, it seem they are a lot of log files regarding veeam on the c:\ drive for example "C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\VeeamVixProxy_05022014.log". All those files raise the size of 25Gbytes. Can i delete them, or its dangerous?


Regards.

You can remove them, v8 will handle that automatically though.
