Some of the options that you view on the Advanced tab vary upon your selection in the previous tab. For example, the Heartbeat Properties option is visible only if you have selected Instant Virtual Machine as your Test Type in Test Settings.

Heartbeat Properties

Note: The option is visible only if you have selected Instant Virtual Machine as your Test Type.

Timeout

Specifies the longest time that the proxy server can wait for the heartbeat of the Assured Recovery VM. If Assured Recovery VM is not available longer than the defined timeout, the Assured Recovery test job fails.

Specifies the custom script that is stored on the proxy server. You can browse the volume information of the proxy server. If IVM assured recovery type is selected, the script is copied into VM and executed when VM boots. If IVHD assured recovery type is selected, the script is executed on the proxy server.

Note: The Assured Recovery job can only support the executable Windows bat script or executable binary. But, this limitation does not restrict your usage of Assured Recovery job. You can use a Windows batch script written to start your powershell script, such as the name test.bat with the following content:

Powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -Command "& '%ScriptPath%\AR-check.ps1'"

Additionally, the following arguments are passed to the script as per your requirement.

- set PlanName=%1%

- set NodeName=%2%

- set ProxyServer=%3%

- set RecoveryPointName=%3%

- set MountPointRootPathName=%5% (Applicable only to Instant Virtual Disk test type)

As a result, the bat is invoked and run as below:

For Instant Virtual Machine test type:

"%ScriptPath%\test.bat PlanName NodeName ProxyServer RecoveryPointName

For Instant Virtual Disk test type:

%ScriptPath%\test.bat PlanName NodeName ProxyServer RecoveryPointName MountPointRootPathName
