  • Customizing network configuration of virtual machines using subnet mapping rules
    Patent number: 10084652
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein provide disaster recovery IP customization based on rules associated with virtual networks that virtual machines (VMs) are connected to. In one embodiment, the rules are applied to each recovered VM to dynamically derive new TCP/IP settings at a recovery site based on TCP/IP settings used at a protected site and the virtual networks that the VMs is connected to at the protected and recovery sites. In particular, the rules may be defined in IP mapper objects associated with mappings between protected site networks and recovery site networks. During disaster recovery, the protected-site-to-recovery-site network mapping for a vNIC of a recovered VM is determined and rules that are defined in the IP mapper object associated with such a network mapping are evaluated to generate new TCP/IP settings.
