SRM Attributes

My customer is trying to ascertain what attributes for virtual machines are transferred across during a SRM failover as reservations still don't and they have the reservations to stop the creation of the vmswap files due to their tight storage allocations (tried to fix this but so far they are refusing) Is there a list of these attributes?

As per this Blog it says SRM does not preserve VM reservation attributes.

SRM will not preserve reservations on failover - VMware vSphere Blog

If you see Mike Laverick comments(he is a SRM GURU) he says there could be an option to use powercli to export attributes and import them when the placeholder VMs gets replaced by Actual VMs, however while running a test fail-over or actual fail-over through SRM I am not sure where we can integrate these powercli scripts to replace attributes.

so unfortunately from my side this doesn't seem to be possible.
