General limitations

Single NIC having multiple IP addresses of same type are not supported

Single NIC having multiple IP addresses of same type attached to a single virtual machine are not supported.

Snapshot of Resiliency Manager and IMS virtual appliances is supported only for recovering from upgrade failure

In normal circumstances, taking snapshots and restoring from those snapshots is not supported for any of the Resiliency Platform virtual appliances. Resiliency Platform supports taking snapshot of the Resiliency Manager and IMS virtual appliances and restoring from those snapshots only in a situation where something goes wrong during upgrade and the previous state of the appliances needs to be restored.

Taking snapshot and restoring from the snapshot is not supported for Replication Gateway even in the case of an upgrade failure.

DNS customization does not work if FQDN is not defined

If FQDN is not defined for virtual machines running on Hyper-V platform (Linux and Windows), DNS customization does not work.

vLan mapping compulsory for DRS enabled Vmware virtual machines having distributed port groups

If vSphere DRS is enabled for a VMware HA cluster and virtual machine has port group attached from distributed switch, then you must do vLan mapping for successfully performing the migrate operation. This is applicable only to vCenter server and ESXi version lower than 6.5.

NIC bonding / NIC teaming is not supported for protected workloads

Workloads under Veritas Resiliency Platform control are expected not to have NIC binding / NIC teaming configured.

Moving an IMS from one datacenter to another is not supported for cloud platforms

Veritas Resiliency Platform does not support moving an Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) from one datacenter or region to another.
