Limitations: Recovery to vCloud Director

Resync operation always performs full synchronization of data

The Resync operation performs incremental synchronization when possible. Otherwise, the operation performs full synchronization of data. In the subsequent Resync operations, only incremental synchronization is done. But in case of recovery to vCloud Director, full synchronization of data is done during every Resync operation.

Computer name of virtual machine on vCloud differs if the name exceeds permitted character limit

The maximum allowed character limit for a Computer name on vCloud is 15 for Windows and 63 for Linux. If the host name part of the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a virtual machine exceeds the limit, then after performing migrate or take over operation the Computer name of the virtual machine on vCloud has a default name.

The name can be edited as required.

Limitations when recovering from vCloud Director to vCloud Director

Resiliency Platform creates independent disks and when you migrate to the target data center, these independent disks get attached to the virtual machines. The following limitations, which are applicable to the independent disks of vCloud Director, are now applicable to the virtual machines created by Veritas Resiliency Platform:

  • Cannot move the virtual machine to a different vApp.

  • Cannot copy the virtual machine to a different vApp.

  • Cannot resize or delete the independent disks.

  • Cannot take snapshot of the virtual machines that have independent disks.

  • Cannot add vApp to Catalog containing virtual machines having independent disks.

  • Can delete a virtual machine but the independent disks are not deleted.

  • Can upload the OVA file which is downloaded from a virtual machine having independent disks, to either the catalog or to MyCloud. But this creates a virtual machine with dependent disks.
