dr-ip-reporter / customizer each time I add a new VM?

[thomps01]

I've used the dr-ip-reporter.exe command to create an XLM file and then used the dr-ip-customizer to create a csv file.

After updating the csv file with all my IP details and using the dr-ip-customizer create command to actually apply the new settings into the config, I want to know what happens when I add the next new VM into the protection group?

Suppose I create a brand new VM and wish to protect this. Do I need to run the entire dr-ip-reporter and dr-ip-customizer process again?

I know there's a recreate option to apply changes, but I'm guessing I need to run the reporter once and then the generate and create commands to apply the new shaddow-vm settings.

Can someone confirm this please.

Thanks

When you add a new VM;

1. run dr-ip-customizer with "generate" command to get shadow-vm id of new VM

2. open you master csv file (the csv file containing all the data, the file you used to create customizations for all the VMs) and add rows for newly added VM (VM id , Name and all IP settings)

3. run dr-ip-customizer with "create" command. This will only create customization for the new VM. "Recreate" command removes and creates customizations for all VMs.

Thanks, I managed to test this and discovered it was the only way.
