Prepare DC for DataLab
This step is required for a domain controller to be started in a test lab environment. This must always be the first step for the domain controller in a lab group.
Important |
Starting a domain controller deployed on a physical machine is not supported. |
This step ensures the VM will reboot to exit DSRM (Directory Services Restore Mode) and therefore will function correctly as a domain controller in the lab.
The Prepare DC for DataLab step has the following parameters, but they are not editable:
Parameter | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
Critical Step | Defines whether the step is critical for VM recovery. If you mark the step as Critical, its failure for a VM from a critical inventory group will halt the plan. | Yes |
Timeout | Maximum amount of time (in seconds) for the step to execute. | 60 |
Retries | Number of retries that will be attempted if the step fails on the first try. | 0 |
During Failback and Undo | Defines whether the step will be executed during the Failback and Undo Failover operations. | Skip |
During DataLab Tests | Defines whether the step will be executed during plan testing in a DataLab. | Execute |
