HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.0 Recovery Management User Guide

• When moving a logical server between physical and virtual servers within a site, the following
server IDs are not preserved:
◦ Network MAC addresses
◦ Server/Initiator WWNs (on the virtual machine, the storage adapter is a virtual SCSI
controller)
◦ Logical Serial Number
◦ Logical UUID
• In a DR configuration, the site that you configure first must have both physical servers and
virtual machine hosts available so a logical server can be configured to run on both types of
servers, and tested. The recovery site can have a physical/virtual combination also, or have
only virtual machine hosts.
