Veeam Istant Recovery in a host with different subnet

Same building, different departments with different WAN Connections.

Network 1 with a fortigate UTM

lan:192.168.200.x
Wan: x.x.x.x
vlan1 interface: 172.10.70.1

vlan1 interface provides necessary routing through a static route between 192.168.200.x and 137.0.0.x lans in order to achieve connection from veeam backup server to 137.0.0.x host.


host 1 vmware

1 dc
1 SMB

host 2 vmware

1 SQL Server DB APP

host 3 vmware

1 Veeam Backup Server

Backup REPO is in the 192.168.200.x network


Network 2 with a fortigate UTM

lan:137.0.0.x
Wan: x.x.x.x
vlan1 interface: 172.10.70.2

vlan1 interface provides necessary routing through a static route between 192.168.200.x and 137.0.0.x lans in order to achieve connection from veeam backup server to 137.0.0.x host.

host 4 vmware

1 dc
1 SMB
1 SQL Server DB APP

Scenario

We save all vm backups in the Veeam Backup Server in the 192.168.200.x network.

IF host 4 vmware goes in fault?
How could I perform a VM istant recovery for example in the host 1, host 2 or host 3 just to let employers continues to work?

All the other hosts are in the Network 1 (ip class 192.168.200.x), but VMs interested in restore in thi scenario have an IP class 137.0.0.x.

Thanks in advance guys!

Hi guys,

I looked deeply into this.....Veeam doesn't provide a re-ip mapping when performing a VM Instant Recovery (only in case of replica).

The only way to resolve the issue is to connect "directly" the host using a VMware Distributed Switch. Once you use a physical nic as an uplink for this new VM Network, you may restore the VM directly without any changes.

If someone wants some other explanations, do not hesitate!

I tested the solution in person in a lab environment.
I'm not sure why my answer, which is directly in line with yours, does not deserve at least some points?
Thanks for that. :)
