Issue
Replica virtual machines configured with a static IP address should be configured to use a different IP address from their primary virtual machine counterpart in the event of failover.
Impact
Clients using the workload supported by the primary virtual machine might not be able to connect to the Replica virtual machine after a failover. Also, the primary virtual machine's original IP address will not be valid in the Replica virtual machine network topology. This impacts the following virtual machines:

Resolution
Use Hyper-V Manager to configure the IP address that the Replica virtual machine should use in the event of failover.
