Question about replication paths
Hi,
I configured replication on two servers. Now I'm quite unsure about the correct settings, version is 9.0.0.1491.
What I want to do:
Replicated VMs (HyperV) should be in the following folders.
Let's say targetfolder is Y:\VMs-01, within this folder I create subfolders with the name of the VMs (otherwise I get cryptic VM-IDs). Now I have two VMs, VM-AB and VM-CD, I create this folderstructure with all subfolders:
For VM-AB
Y:\VMs-01\VM-AB
Y:\VMs-01\VM-AB\Snapshots
Y:\VMs-01\VM-AB\Virtual Hard Disks
Y:\VMs-01\VM-AB\Virtual Machines
For VM-CD
Y:\VMs-01\VM-CD
Y:\VMs-01\VM-CD\Snapshots
Y:\VMs-01\VM-CD\Virtual Hard Disks
Y:\VMs-01\VM-CD\Virtual Machines
Next step, I configure the replication job.
At "Destination", chosen path is Y:\VMs-01. Click on "Pick path", add VMs VM-AB and VM-CD. I'm pointing configuration files to Y:\VMs-01\VM-AB\Virtual Machines and virtual hard disk to Y:\VMs-01\VM-AB\Virtual Hard Disks. Same for VM-CD to its own paths.
Starting the replication job. Fine, virtual hard disks are as expected in Y:\VMs-01\VM-AB\Virtual Hard Disks and Y:\VMs-01\VM-CD\Virtual Hard Disks. But the configuration files are in Y:\VMs-01\VM-ID\Virtual Machines, same with the snapshots. My newly created folders for this purpose are empty.
Where's the point I'm missing?
Regards,
Jens

Re: Question about replication paths
Let me confirm the observed behavior with our QC team. If you select a "pick path" option, then you should be able to use separate folders.

Re: Question about replication paths
Just to confirm...
If this is fixed, my configuration should work? Or do I have to configure the jobs anew?
With Update 2, everything is same as before.

Re: Question about replication paths
Yes, update 2 doesn't have this fixed, it was too late to include it. This fix is scheduled to our the major version upgrade (v9.5).
