Feature Request: Instant VM Recovery and SanDisk Flashsoft 4

[Pascal F.]

Hello,

I recently updated our vSphere 5.5 Environment to v6.0 U2. Three of the Servers have a FusionIO Accelerator Card installed. When SanDisk took over FusionIO they discontinued the ioTurbine Software and replaced it with Flashsoft 4.
with ioTurbine it was possible to perform an Instant Recovery to a ESXi Server with an Accelerator Card. Now with SanDisk it is not working because the VM fails to boot.

The difference between ioTurbine and Flashsoft is that ioTurbine altered the vmx File and Flashsoft alters the vmdk Files. As a workaround erasing those lines from the vmdk file helps. A full restore works as well.

I created a Support case (#01827110) and I was asked to create a feature request.

Regards
Pascal
