For existing replications you can select which hard disks are replicated by selecting the replications then clicking .
Prerequisites
- Verify that VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.7 or later is deployed in both the source and in the destination sites.
- Verify that you can access VMware Cloud Director Availability as a tenant or as a provider. For more information, see Accessing VMware Cloud Director Availability.
Procedure
- In the left pane, choose a replication direction by clicking Incoming Replications or Outgoing Replications.
- Select one or more replications.
- Click .
- In the Storage settings window, to select disks for replicating per each virtual machine in the selected replications, activate the Advanced Datastore Settings toggle then configure the following settings under Use flexible storage profile assignment.
Note: This toggle does not show for replications from a Cloud Director site to an on-premises site as a destination. For such replications, you can directly configure the following settings.
- From the Disk inclusion drop-down menu, select either to Include All or to Exclude All disks from the VM in the destination. Without any disks selected for replication, you cannot continue.
- Under Disk X, to include this disk in the replicated virtual machine, activate the Replicate toggle. To select a storage policy for this disk, click the Storage policy drop-down menu. For a Cloud Director site as a destination, this option requires RTVM placement. For more information, see Replication tracking placement solution. This menu does not show for replications from a Cloud Director site to an on-premises site as a destination as it already uses the on-premises placement. For vSphere DR and migration only, to select a placement datastore for this disk, click the Placement Datastore drop-down menu.
- After configuring the disk settings for all needed virtual machines in the selected replications, click Apply.
Results
The selected disks are ready to be replicated in the destination site.
