Issue post failover using SRM

$

Hey all,

 

 

Firstly apologies for the lack of information or if this has already been asked...

 

 

A customer has a Linux vm with two vNICs (Production (192.168.x.x) and Management (10.100.x.x in the Production site and 10.101.x.x in the DR site)). When the vm is failed over SRM has been setup to change the management IP but NOT the production IP.

 

 

The hosts file looks like this prior to fail over:

 

 

[root@SERVER1 ~]# cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost

::1         localhost

192.168.0.1 SERVER1

10.100.0.1 SERVER1-mgt

 

 

and like this after fail over:

 

 

[root@SERVER1 ~]# cat /etc/hosts

 

127.0.0.1   localhost

 

::1         localhost

 

192.168.0.1 SERVER1

10.100.0.1 SERVER1-mgt

 

10.101.0.1 SERVER1

 

When the VM is in the DR site the customer is reporting problems connecting to the VM/App and if they manually edit the hosts file to remove the 10.100.0.1 entry and add "-mgt" to the 10.101.0.1 entry the connection issues are resolved.

 

Apologies if this is an obvious mistake that has been made, however is there a way to stop SRM adding the new entry to the hosts file or only editing the entry suffixed with "-mgt"?

 

Thanks,

James
