I read: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11517 and it appears for an actual SRM failover DDNS should handle the failover VMs starting up with a new IP (using SRM IP Customizer) using an AD/DNS server that is always running at recovery site (using AD built-in replication).
Since the bulk of failovers will actually be test failovers on the test network, how do I get an AD/DNS server in the test failover? Is it acceptable to replicate AD/DNS via SRM for the purposes of test failovers? If so, how would I change the IP on the test failover AD/DNS without issue? Also, can I create a test failover that includes the AD/DNS VM and exlcude it from the same Recovery Plan when running in failover mode?
Thanks,
