Separate placeholder datastore in recovery site required when using vSphere Replication?

[Alfredj1204]

Hi,

I am wondering if in the recovery site a separate (second) datastore is required to accomodate the placeholder VMs when using SRM with vSphere Replication. It is a small test environment and I only have one datastore on which the vCenter Server VM is running. Can this datastore also be used for placeholder VM purposes?

Regards,

Hi,

One datastore is enough. The SRM placeholder VMs are at different datastore folders.
