Replica disk type

Post by Cragdoo »

Now I know the reason why when setting up a replica job the default disk type for the VM on the target datastore is 'Thin' (the assumption is your destination has less resources than the source). However with VMs I have manually changed to 'Same as source' I notice that if I go back in to edit the job, the disk type is still showing as 'Thin' as opposed to pulling in the actual value from the job.

The following picture should explain a bit clearer

The VM was set to 'Same as Source' but the disk type reverts to 'Thin' when editing the job.

Is this expected behavior?

We will try to confirm this behaviour internally; I will update the topic, once investigation is over. Thanks.
