Datamotive replicates at the block level and rebuilds the guest for the target platform during recovery, so guest OS support is validated per distribution, version, and kernel. This page lists the matrix for solution version 2.0.3.

Static IP assignment on recovery
When VMware is the recovery target, static IP assignment inside the guest is supported for all Windows versions and a subset of Linux variants: CentOS and RHEL 7.8, 7.9, and 8.x, and SLES 15 SP3. The source VM must have the nmcli package available; SLES guests additionally require sudo with a btrfs (LVM) file system. See Preparing an instance for replication.
