An administrator has been tasked with developing a Prism Central Recovery Plan for 50 workloads that will be assigned new IP addresses and will need to utilize a new DNS server upon instantiation of workloads in the Disaster Recovery (DR) location.
What is the best way to accomplish this?
For workloads requiring new IP addresses and DNS server settings during DR recovery, using custom scripting within the Recovery Plan is the recommended and supported method.
From the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Administration (ECA) course materials:
''Recovery Plans support scripting within the Recovery Sequence to enable administrators to perform post-recovery customization tasks, such as updating IP addresses, configuring DNS, or applying application-specific settings.''
''This scripting capability provides a flexible, automated approach to ensure that VMs are correctly reconfigured to operate within the DR environment's network and DNS settings.''
This avoids the need for manual reconfiguration post-recovery or adjusting settings in production prior to failover.
