You can protect a replicated virtual machine by using HA. Replication continues at the defined RPO after HA restarts a virtual machine.

vSphere Replication

does not perform any special HA handling. You can protect the

vSphere Replication

appliance itself by using HA.

On the source site, Storage DRS can move the disk files of replicated virtual machines with no impact on the ongoing replication.

On the target site, you must register the

vSphere Replication

appliance with the

vCenter Single Sign-On

service to enable the communication between Storage DRS and the

vSphere Replication

Management server. See vCenter Server 인스턴스에 연결하도록 vSphere Replication 장치 구성.

You can protect virtual machines that contain disks that use the VMware vSphere Flash Read Cache storage. Since the host to which a virtual machine recovers might not be configured for Flash Read Cache,

vSphere Replication

deactivates Flash Read Cache on disks when it starts the virtual machines on the recovery site.

vSphere Replication

sets the reservation to zero. Before performing a recovery on a virtual machine that is configured to use vSphere Flash Read Cache, take note of the virtual machine's cache reservation from the

vSphere Client

. After the recovery, you can migrate the virtual machine to a host with Flash Read Cache storage and restore the original Flash Read Cache setting on the virtual machine manually.
