When protecting a VM with VR, you have the option to either allow VR to auto-select a replication appliance in the recovery site to receive the incoming replication data stream or to manually select from the list of registered VR appliances at the recovery site.
After a SRM failover, during the re-protect workflow is there a way to select which VR appliance at the new Recovery site that will be used to replicate the VMs back, per VM within the recovery policy? For example, if within each site you have 2 security zones and with corresponding VR appliances that access to only those hosts within protection group/recovery plan, is there a way to ensure that the VMs being re-protected from security zone 1 use the appliance from security zone 1 in the recovery site? (Security zones in both sites are on the same network).
From testing it would appear as though the re-protect attempts to load balance the replication workloads across the available VR appliances which is a problem when a VM from security zone one is added to the VR appliance in security zone 2 in the recovery site, by SRM re-protect.
