The replication technology for recovery of physical machines to VMware virtual machines is Veritas Resiliency Platform Data Mover.
For Windows workload virtual machines, the PowerShell version equal to 2.0 and above but less than 3.0 the req .Net version must be in range of 3.5 to 4.5. For PowerShell version equal to 3.0 and above, the minimum req .Net version is 4.5.
RHEL hosts (version 7.0 and above) having multiple NICs need to have
NetworkManager-config-routing-rulespackage installed on them.For RHEL, previous minor versions may work with the current released version of Resiliency Platform but not specifically tested or qualified, as those minor versions are out of ELS with Red Hat. It is recommended to upgrade to ELS supported versions.
Starting and stopping of resiliency groups is not supported for recovery of physical machines to VMware virtual machines.
Shared disks are not supported for recovery of physical machines to VMware virtual machines.
Multiple subnets at source to single subnet at target is not supported.
1 GB free disk needs to be added to the physical server required for replication DRL (Replication Block Tracking) disk.
Multipathing on target side virtual machines is not supported.
