IP Address Ping Check after Failover

Hi,

We like the automation capabilities that SRM gives us for DR and it works really well but we would like to try and perform some form of ping test on each of the recovered virtual machines and email the result.  This would save us time when we perform our checks after the recovery.

Does anyone know if there is a way to perform this type of task using Powercli utilising the list of recovered virtual machines rather than having a static list that needs to be manually updated when a new VM is added or removed?

Cheers

Chris

Hi,

You can get list of VMs via API:

Although not officially supported but might be possible via PowerCLI:
