Site Recovery Job Wizard: Re-IP

In the Re-IP page of the Site Recovery Job Wizard you can map a source VM IP address to a specific target IP address.

Please proceed as follows:

1. Select Enable Re-IP.

   Note
   A failover or a failback action needs to be in the actions list to allow enabling Re-IP for your site recovery job.

2. The Re-IP Rules section opens. Click the Select VMs link.

3. The Re-IP dialog opens. In the list of your source VMs, select at least one, select the credentials to be used for each VM, and close the dialog.

   Note
   Re-IP rules will be applied only to VMs that have a static IPv4 address configured.

4. You have the following options:

   • Create a new rule:

     1. Click Create new rule.

     2. The New Re-IP Rule dialog opens. Enter source and target settings for the Re-IP rule and click Save.

        

        Note
        You can use wildcards for IP addresses. For example, when the 192.168.1.* -> 10.30.30.* Re-IP rule is available, it will change the source VM IP address like 192.168.1.50 to the 10.30.30.50 IP address, for your site recovery job.
        When there are several Re-IP rules applicable to your source VM, the application will define the most suitable one and apply it to the source VM IP address.

   • Add an existing rule:

     1. Click Add existing rule.

     2. The Re-IP Rules dialog box opens. Choose an appropriate Re-IP rule and close the dialog.

        

   • Edit an existing Re-IP rule:

     1. Hover the pointer over the necessary item in the Re-IP Rules list and then click the Edit button to the right of the item.

     2. The Edit Re-IP Rule dialog opens. Edit the necessary properties of the Re-IP rule and then click Save.

        

   • Delete an existing mapping: hover the pointer over the necessary item in the Re-IP Rules list and then click the Delete icon to the right of the item.

     

   • To leave the list of existing Re-IP rules intact, go to the next page of the wizard.

5. Click Next to go to the next page of the wizard.
