Adding to my post from monday, I had another issue with SRM not changing ip addresses on an Asterisk (CentOS) box, so I had to engineer a workaround..

For PRIMARY = 10.100.1.150 and DR = 10.100.2.150

1. On the linux box, we’ll create two bash scripts, chmod these 755 and stick these in your $PATH.

primary-to-dr.sh
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 10.100.2.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 10.100.2.1 eth0
done

dr-to-primary.sh
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 10.100.1.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 10.100.1.1 eth0
done

2. On the vCenter, install WinSCP and run. Create 2 new sessions with saved credentials and name primary and dr. Connect to each session and accept the certificates!
3. Ensure the following is in the windows PATH, if not, add this directory: C:Program Files (x86)WinSCP
4. Create the batch file below to call winscp, start the session and run the relevant script from step 1.

ifconfig.bat
@echo off
echo “Logging into host and running script”
If EXIST c:primary.txt (winscp primary /command “call primary-to-dr.sh”) ELSE (winscp dr /command “call dr-to-primary.sh”)
echo Exit Value %ERRORLEVEL%
TIMEOUT /t 5 /nobreak

In SRM run the bat file, no flags needed.
