Replay Manager Version 7.7 Administrator’s Guide

PDF

Storage vMotion

vSphere enables the ability of a virtual machine to migrate between hosts using vMotion and between storage using Storage vMotion. vMotion will not create any issues for Replay Manager as long as all vSphere hosts are zoned and mapped to the necessary volumes, however, there are some usage considerations.

CAUTION:Do not use the VMware Datastores backup extension if you are using Storage vMotion. Storage vMotion will cause a Replay Manager job to fail if the VMware Datastores backup extension was used for the job.

Replay Manager jobs using the VMware Virtual Machines backup extension are not impacted by Storage vMotion as long as the Storage vMotion destination is a Storage Center configured in Replay Manager. Every time a Replay Manager job using this extension is run, Replay Manager will update the virtual machine's file location(s) as necessary before performing the job. The Replay Manager job will be updated accordingly and no action will be required of the administrator.
