VMware vs. Non-VMware Instant Recovery Disrepancy

[JonahM]

If I Instant Recover a non-VMware workload into VMware, I am given the option to map NICs on the machine to networks. However, if I do an IR of a VMware VM to a new cluster, selecting the new or different location option, I don't get this screen. I have to go into vCenter after the IR completes and change the network. It would be nice to be able to do so from the Veeam UI.

Hello Jonah

How often do you have to run this process? Is it for testing software upgrades on those machines?

For testing updates, could you work with our On-Demand Sandbox as a workaround? It would allow you to power on VMs with instant recovery and map them to a isolated network.

Best,
Fabian

Fairly often. We use the functionality with VCC B workloads to recover customer backups into our SP infrastructure so they can validate their offsite workloads, so unfortunately on-demand sandbox is not an option.
