Failback Job Wizard for Microsoft Hyper-V: Re-IP

When the IP addressing scheme for the replica differs from the IP addressing scheme for the Hyper-V source VMs, your failback job needs relations between source VMs addresses and the replica VMs addresses to be performed successfully. These relations are called Re-IP rules.

Warning
Hyper-V Integration Services must be running on source VMs to enable successful re-IP for your failback job.

To map a source VM IP address to a specific target IP address, do the following on the Re-IP page of the wizard:

1. Select Enable Re-IP.

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 and close the dialog.

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.

        Example

        When the 192.168.1.* -> 10.30.30.* Re-IP rule, a source VM IP address such as 192.168.1.50 will be changed to the 10.30.30.50 IP address for your replica failback 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.
