Hi,
I'm new to using SRM with vSphere Replication. In the past I've always had storage array replication.
Versions:
SRM 8.1.0 (Build 8738384)
vSphere Replication 8.1.0 (Build 8744176)
So on to my question.
In the past when I've done it with Storage array replication, once I fail over I just reprotect and it only has to start replicating changes back to the source instead of having to re-seed the entire VMFS volume/LUN.
I've noticed that once I reprotect a VM after failover it will start a reverse replication and it has to replicate the entire VM again the other way!
Is there no way to make it keep the original VM files on the source and just replicate changes back when reversing?
Does that make sense?
With the way I'm seeing vsphere replication work, it would take a long time to replicate all the VMs back.
