Instant recovery to another cluster nic were not mapping

Post by Leemaru »

Hi all,
I have two vmware 7.0 clusters each with different VDS settings.
(but the portgroup name is the same).
After I use Storage snapshot (Netapp) to backup in cluster A.
I try to Instant recovery to cluster B, the recovery works.
But I found that all the NIC settings on my VMs were blank.
I had to manually set up the NICs one by one.
There are nearly 200 VMs in the whole environment need to do disaster recovery test.
This will increase our RTO time significantly.
Does anyone have a way to allow me to choose the network to be mapped during the restore process or is there another option to quickly configure the network?

Hi

For instant recovery from snapshots, the network cannot be configured in the instant recovery session. The original network will be taken for the vm. If you choose another VmWare cluster, the original network is no available and so the VM doesn't get an network connected.

Have you tried vPowerCLI to automatize the network assignment?
That's the only way I can think of for the moment.

Thanks

Hi

I am trying to use the Powercli.
but I still want to reduce the use of scripts as much as possible,that easy operation for other admins.

Hello,
then I would suggest to use Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator.

Best regards,
Hannes
