Replication and vMotion

[geejaybee]

Hi,

If I set up continous replication to a remote site for VMs that are running in an ESXi cluster, does it continue uninterrupted if one or more of the source VMs failover to another host?

Regards,

Gee

Hello! Veeam B&R is vMotion-aware in case your jobs point to vCenter server (not to individual ESXi hosts).

As long as you add VMs to a job in a way that does not matter in the api. It's best to pick your VMs by parent folder or by name for example.

If you picked a host when you add VMs then vmotion changes the host and the vm falls out of the job. If you picked a datastore then svmotion changes the datastore. But folders, clusters, etc keep thr vm as a child no matter of vmotion or svmotion.
