Inject IP address into the VM during failover

Hi Mahmoud,

If the Failover TCP/IP setting is not configured, the replicated VM will have the IP setting of the primary VM. Whether the IP setting would be valid in the replica environment is a completely different discussion.

Hi,

What If I didn't configure the IP setting, will it take the old VM IP settings?!

Hi,

You can get the IP address. But this post explains how you can set the IP address from the root partition, which is injected during a VM failover. There is a high chance that your primary and replica VMs will be on different IP subnets/address space. Rather than setting the IP address after failover (from within the guest), this feature allows you to plan better by setting the IP address.

Maybe I don't understand it quite right: Is there a reason why you can't get the IP address via integration services automatically?
