System information

If you set the advanced setting option recovery.useIpMapperAutomatically to True and configure the IP
mapping rule for virtual networks, then Site Recovery Manager evaluates the subnet IP mapping rules
during recovery to customize the virtual machines. If you set this option to False, Site Recovery Manager
does not evaluate the IP mapping rules during recovery. You can override the effect of this option for each
virtual machine by using the IP Customization option.
The recovery.useIpMapperAutomatically default option is True. If you set it to Auto, Site Recovery Manager
customizes the virtual machine by using the IP Customization rule.
