Hello!
I'd like to clarify one sentence from VR admin guide.
There is an excerpt:
If you move a virtual machine with replicated disks over 2032GB back to a machine on an older release,
vSphere Replication cannot replicate or power on the virtual machine
Does "machine on an older release" stand for ESXi 5.5 and earlier?
Thnaks.
Hi,
Thank you for the feedback, the admin guide content will be updated.
ESXi < 5.5 supports replicated disks with size below 2032GB.
ESXi >= 5.5 supports replicated disks with size below ~ 62TB.
The VR 5.5 admin guide also contains the same content, as the one you quoted - see vSphere Replication Limitations
The VR 5.5 release notes mentions the 62TB limit:
https://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vsphere-replication-55-release-notes.html
vSphere Replication supports a maximum disk size of 62TB.
Regards,
Martin
