Procedure
1
On the vSphere Replication tab under Manage, click the target network settings icon .
If your user session to the cloud has expired, the Configure Target Networks wizard prompts you to
type your credentials.
2 From the drop-down menus, select a recovery network and a test network and click Next.
The drop-down menus display only the networks that are configured for vCloud Air.
3 On the Ready to complete page, review your settings and click Finish.
What to do next
When you test a replication or perform a recovery operation, vCloud Air automatically attaches the virtual
machine to the test or recovery network respectively.
Disable the Automatic Export of MAC Addresses During Replication
By default, when you configure a virtual machine for replication to cloud, its NICs and MAC addresses are
copied automatically to the target site as part of the provisioning of the placeholder virtual machine.
If the test network is not isolated from the production network and these networks have common routing, a
test recovery of a replicated virtual machine might result in duplicate MAC addresses in your virtual data
center.
To avoid duplicate MAC addresses in your data center, you can disable the automatic copying of network
configurations from the source site to cloud sites.
NOTE Disabling the automatic copying of network configurations does not delete the configurations that
are already replicated to the target site. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2086292 .
Procedure
1 Use the vSphere Web Client on the source site to locate the HMS virtual machine and log in as the root
user.
2 Navigate to folder /opt/vmware/hms/conf/.
3 Run the vi hms-configuration.xml command to open the hms-configuration.xml file for editing.
4 Locate the <hms-dr2c-export-mac-address> parameter, and modify the value to false:
<hms-dr2c-export-mac-address>false</hms-dr2c-export-mac-address>
5 Run the :wq command to save the change, and run the following command to restart the HMS service.
# service hms restart
The automatic copying of network configurations to target cloud sites is disabled for all newly configured
replications.
Cloud Connection States Displayed in the vSphere Web Client
In the vSphere Web Client, on the vSphere Replication tab under Manage, you can check the status of
connections between your vSphere environment and the virtual data centers on the remote site.
The following table lists the cloud connection states that you can observe, their meanings, and what you can
do to change a state back to normal.
