SCP Changing DR VM IP

Delaneykenny Lv1Posted Sep-17-2025 11:31

Does SCP support pre-change VM IP before or after failover?

Let's say we have 50x VMs in production site under the subnet 192.168.1.0 with static IP. Then after failover all the VMs to DR site. we want to change all VM's IPs to subnet 10.10.20.0 witch static IP.

Could SCP change VM's IPs during the failover? or we need to login all the VMs driectly and manual change to IP?

======================================================================

The Sangfor Cloud Platform (SCP) does not support changing the IP addresses of VMs during the failover process. When you perform a failover, the VMs will retain their original IP configurations, which means that if your VMs are in the subnet 192.168.1.0 with static IPs, they will continue to use those IPs after the failover to the Disaster Recovery (DR) site.

To change the IP addresses of the VMs to a new subnet (in your case, 10.10.20.0), you will need to log into each VM directly and manually change the IP settings. Here are the steps you would typically follow:

1. Log into each VM: Access each VM that you want to change the IP address for.
2. Modify the IP configuration:
- For Linux VMs, you can edit the NIC configuration file (e.g., `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX`) to set the new static IP address.
- For Windows VMs, you can go to the Network and Sharing Center, select the network adapter, and change the IP settings there.
3. Restart the network service: After making the changes, restart the network service on the VM to apply the new IP configuration.
4. Verify the changes: Ensure that the new IP addresses are correctly configured and reachable.

In summary, you will need to manually change the IP addresses of the VMs after the failover, as SCP does not provide an automated way to change VM IPs during the failover process.
