How do you specify the target VM IP address?

Question

Our primary data center has VMs which are replicated to Azure Site Recovery.
In the event of a failure at the main data center I want to know in advance
what the IP addresses will be in Azure. How do you specify what the
IP addresses of the DR VMs will be during a DR event?

Answer 1

For the Azure resources configured with static IP addresses, Site Recovery will assign the same IP address if that is not in use in the target VNet.

Refer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/site-recovery-retain-ip-azure-vm-failover

Also you can configure IP address settings by yourself. Refer the following article.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/azure-to-azure-network-mapping#set-up-ip-addressing-for-target-vms

The public IP can not be retained on failover. Refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/azure-to-azure-network-mapping#set-up-ip-addressing-for-target-vms

Hope this helps
