Using Site Recovery Manager with SIOC Datastores

Site Recovery Manager fully supports storage I/O control (SIOC).

Planned Migration of Virtual Machines on Datastores that Use SIOC

In previous releases of Site Recovery Manager you had to deactivate storage I/O control (SIOC) on datastores that you included in a recovery plan before you ran a planned migration. This release of Site Recovery Manager fully supports SIOC, so you do not have to deactivate SIOC before you run a planned migration.

Disaster Recovery and Reprotect of Virtual Machines on Datastores that Use SIOC

In previous releases of Site Recovery Manager, if you ran a disaster recovery with SIOC enabled, the recovery would succeed with errors. After the recovery, you had to manually deactivate SIOC on the protected site and run a planned migration recovery again. You could not run reprotect until you successfully ran a planned migration. This release of Site Recovery Manager fully supports SIOC, so recovery succeeds without errors and you can run planned migration and reprotect after a disaster recovery without disabling SIOC.
