SRM and SDRS - initial placement only

[AllBlack]

Hi all,

I am well aware that SRM does not support SDRS as it makes use of svmotion. I was wondering if any of you actually use SRM and datastore clusters but only enable initial placement on the cluster? Is this supported?

Cheers

Hi,

It is not supported even for initial placement:

Interoperability with Storage vMotion and Storage DRS

Due to some specific and limited cases where recoverability can be compromised during storage movement, Site Recovery Manager 5.0 is not supported for use with Storage vMotion (SVmotion) and is not supported for use with the Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler (SDRS) including the use of datastore clusters.

You can hit unexpected behaviour / issues.

Michael.
