VM replication that have dynamic disk

Post by cdsouza »

I have two VMs running in VMware 5.1/vCenter5.1
First VM:
OS: Windows 2008r2
Application: Exchange 2010
C: drive is Basic (60GB) (OS and Exchange binary files)
D: drive is dynamic (650 GB) (Exchange database) (single VMDK file)

Second VM:
OS: Windows 2008r2
Application: Domain Controller and File print server
C: drive is Basic (100GB) (OS and Active directory DB)
D: 1.4TB Spanned across two Dynamic Disk in Windows (Two VMDK file 650GB and 750GB)

I have installed VEEAM 8 B&R and need to replicate the two VMs to a new vCenter 5.5 on the same LAN.
Question: Are there any issues with replicating virtual machines with Dynamic Disk or virtual machines that have spanned volume across dynamic disk?

Clement, there should not be any issues with replicating these VMs with v8. Thanks.
