The following rules apply when you modify a CSV file created by the dr-ip-customizer utility.
n
Commas are not allowed in any field.
n
The VM Name
field is intended as a reference for the user customizing the file. It is populated when
the CSV file is created but ignored when the modifications are applied to the recovery plan. It cannot
be used to rename a virtual machine.
n
The only fields that you can modify for a row where Adapter ID is 0 are DNS Server(s) and DNS
Suffix(es). These values, if specified, are inherited by all other adapters for that VM ID.
n
To define properties for a specific adapter on a placeholder virtual machine, create a new row that
contains that virtual machine’s ID in the VM ID column and the adapter ID (the virtual PCI slot in
which the adapter is installed on the placeholder virtual machine) in the Adapter ID column, then
specify values for the other columns.
n
To specify more than one value for a column, create an additional row for that adapter and include
the value in the column in that row. In Table 5-3, additional rows define a secondary DNS server for
the placeholder virtual machines shdw2 and shdw3.
n
To customize a placeholder virtual machine as a DHCP client, enter dhcp in the IP Address field, as
shown in the second row of Table 5-3. For any non-zero adapter ID that is not a DHCP client:
n
You must specify values for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway(s), and DNS Server(s) unless
global values for these properties exist (in the row for Adapter ID zero for that VM ID).
n
Global values, if specified, are overridden by values you specify for each non-zero adapter ID
n
The NetBIOS column, if not left empty, must contain one of the following strings:
disableNetBIOS, enableNetBIOS, or enableNetBIOSViaDhcp.
n
If you are customizing multiple adapters for a virtual machine and want to be sure that the
customizations in a specific row apply to a specific adapter, specify the adapter's MAC address
as pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by the colon character. Character case is not considered.
5 Run dr-ip-customizer.exe to apply the customized IP properties.
Change directory to C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\bin and run the
following command.
dr-ip-customizer.exe -cfg ..\config\vmware-dr.xml -csv c:\tmp\example.csv -cmd
command
where command is one of the following commands:
n
create – applies the customizations to the virtual machines listed in the csv file
n
drop – removes the customizations from the virtual machines listed in the csv file
n
recreate – applies revised customizations to virtual machines that have already been customized
You can include a -verbose option on any dr-ip-customizer.exe command line to log additional
diagnostic messages.
