vCloud Director 5.6 + vSphere Replication 5.8

Guys,

Has anyone sucessfully configured a vCloud Director ORG (running vCloud Director 5.6) as a target site on vSphere Replication 5.8? As indicated in this doc About Disaster Recovery to Cloud?

Regards,

Felipe Carballo

Anyone had an update from vmware on this?  It seems that vCloud Air != vCloud 5.6 :smileyconfused:

The support informed me that this problem seems to be a bug. My ticket was escalated to the development team.

That's interesting.  I've had the following reply...

vmware support wrote:

So I've looked into this a bit further and can confirm that you cannot connect vSphere Replication to vCloud Director. You can only connect to vCloud Air.


I can also tell you that vCloud Director for Service Providers is not the same as vCloud Air

Support reply me with this...

Replication and disaster recovery  are not features listed for vCloud Director SP

And seems that the documentation was modified to include this information:

001502-01

Updated topic About Disaster Recovery to Cloud to clarify that vSphere Replication for Disaster Recovery works with vCloud Air.
