Caveats and limitations

• When replicating a VM with enabled vTPM, the VM must follow an encrypted storage policy.

• Encryption of an attached storage disk during the replication process is supported only when the configuration files of the VM are encrypted and the VM follows an encrypted storage policy at the destination site.

• Replication of an encrypted VM, originally protected or migrated as a non-encrypted VM, is not supported.

• For replications using the Classic data engine, VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.7.3 uses vSphere Replication module called Host-based Replication (HBR) version 9.0.1. For information about its inherited caveats and limitations, see the vSphere Replication 9.0.1 Release Notes.

• With deactivated telemetry in VMware Cloud Director 10.5 and later, when opening VMware Cloud Director Availability from the plug-in in VMware Cloud Director, providing Feedback is not possible.

• The three-tier tenancy capability in VMware Cloud Director is not supported.
