VMware SRM - Recovery Plan (Test or Planned)

Hello guys,

quick question, is there any way that especially on a test recovery plan you can configure SRM to change the MAC address of the VMs or from some specific Virtual Machine?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Just to share an idea. I am not sure. how about this step? Set Mac address manually. Setting a static MAC address for a virtual NIC (219) | VMware KB ?

1. set recovery plan to do not power on VM

2. execute recovery test

3. edit .vmx to change mac address on specific VM

Hello Greg,

Yes I came as well with this idea but I was looking if SRM has something built-in but I couldn't find anything so in the end yes most probably I will go with the same idea that you shared.
