Overriding Recovery Options of an Entity

You can change the recovery settings for individual entities in a cleanroom recovery group.

Procedure

  1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Cleanroom > Recovery groups.

    The Recovery groups page appears.

  2. Click the recovery group.

    The recovery group page appears.

  3. In the row for the entity that you want to override recovery options, click the action button action_button, and then select Override recovery options.

    The Override recovery options dialog box appears.

  4. In the VM display name box, enter a string that is added to source VM names to create display names for the destination VMs, or enter a prefix or suffix to apply to multiple VMs.

  5. From the Resource group list, select the resource group to create the converted VM in.

  6. From the Region list, select the region for the restored VM.

    The region must align with the region containing Air Gap Protect storage. If the destination region is different from the Air Gap Protect storage region, restores will fail.

  7. From the Storage Account list, select an Azure Standard or Premium general-purpose storage account.

    The storage accounts listed are only those associated with the selected region for the restored VM.

  8. From the VM size box, select a VM size from the list. The VM sizes in the list are those that are available for the resource group you selected.

  9. From the Availability zone list, for Azure managed disks, select the pre-defined availability zone for the restored VM.

    The zones listed apply only to the region selected for the restored VM. If you select the Auto option rather than a specific availability zone (1, 2, or 3), and if the feature is supported for the specified region and VM size, the VM is restored to the same availability zone as the source VM, otherwise, it is restored without a zone (No Zone).

  10. From the Disk type list, for managed disks, select the disk type for the destination VM: Original (same as the source VM), Standard HDD, Standard SSD, Premium SSD.

    Consider the following:

    • When the Disk Type for the recovery target is set to Auto select, the destination VM disk type is as follows:

      • For Azure source to Azure destination recovery, the destination VM disk type is the same as the source VM.

      • For any other vendor (such as VMware) to Azure destination recovery, the destination VM disk type is standard HDD.

    • When the Disk Type for the recovery target is set to Premium SSD, but in the Override recovery options window, the Disk Type is set to Original, the destination VM disk type is as follows:

      • For Azure source to Azure destination recovery, the destination VM disk type is the same as the source VM.
    • When the Disk Type for the recovery target is set to Auto select, and in the Override recovery options window, the Disk Type is set to Original, the destination VM disk type is as follows:

      • For Azure to Azure recovery, when in the Override recovery options window, the VM size selected does not support premium SSD (for example, D2v3), the destination VM disk type is standard HDD.

      • For Azure source to Azure destionation recovery, when in the Override recovery options window, the VM size selected supports premium SSD (for example, B2ms), the destination VM disk type is the same as the source VM.

  11. From the Security group list, select a network security group for the destination VMs.

    You can modify this value only when adding a new VM.

  12. Under Network settings, in the available network interfaces row, click the action button action_button, and then select Edit.

    The Edit network settings dialog box appears.

  13. From the Virtual network/subnet list, select the network.

    You can specify any subnet in the same region as the selected resource group.

    If you do not select a VNet, then the first VNet in the list and the first (default) subnet that it expands to are attached to the replicated VM.

    Static IP addresses from a source VM are not replicated to the destination VM.

  14. To create a public IP, move the Create/assign public IP toggle key to the right, from the Public IP type, select Dynamic or Static.

    If a public IP address is not required on destination VMs, clear this selection. By default, a public IP address is assigned to Azure VMs during recovery.

  15. From the Preferred private IP type list, select a custom or dynamic IP.

  16. Click Submit.

  17. To rebuild the VMs with a secure image, do the following:

    1. Move the Repave VM with new secure image toggle key to the right.

    2. From the Image option list, select the image to create the new VMs from.

    3. Enter the credentials for the VM.

    4. If you don't want to attach the OS disk to the new VM, select Skip attaching OS disk.

      If you leave this setting unselected, the OS disk is attached to the new VM, as a data disk.

  18. Click Save.
