srm test

I ran the test on srm. Everything was normal then I make cleanup recovery. On the dr side, the virtual machines are still standing . Is it normal to see recovery vms ( 2012test1 and 2012test2 ) ?

Those are the placeholders for 2012test1 and 2012test2.

As long as they are protected by SRM you will see them on the DR site with this particular icon to show they are protected.

Regards.

It is normal to see them ? Is this happening in every building or I made the wrong configuration ?

You should always see on the DR site the placeholders for all your protected VMs. They are represented on the DR site with this  icon.

So you will see the same VM on both sites, one as usual icon (protected site) and the other with the special icon (DR site), this is to differentiate which is the protected VM and the placeholder.

I understand. I also want to ask you something else. I made a change of IP address when the test started but I can not see the IP address change after the test. Changed inside windows but does not appear on vCenter screen

ı added pictures about it

If you disconnect the NIC of any VM, you will see the same. The webclient does not show the ip.
