Set Virtual Machine Recovery Settings
When recovering a virtual machine,
Site
Recovery Manager
runs predefined steps in a specific order. You can use the Set VM Recovery Settings workflow to configure and customize how the virtual machine is recovered. You can add custom steps by using the Command or Prompt inputs available in the workflow.
You can also customize the IP settings of individual virtual machines. Customizing the IP properties of a virtual machine overrides the default IP settings when the recovered virtual machine starts at the recovery site.
