Resolved Issues
- NEW You cannot recover a virtual machine
When you replicate a virtual machine with a .vmx file that is larger than 64 KB, the file is successfully replicated on the target site. However, if you try to perform а virtual machine recovery, the recovery fails due to a .vmx configuration file buffer size limitation.
This issue is resolved in vSphere Replication 8.5.0.6.
