I am trying to get vVol Replication to work on our 2 3PAR 8200 Storage arrays.
I have created a Storage Container on both arrays and I can use vVols just fine when I don't have replication in my vCenter storage policy.
However, as soon as I provide the replication settings, vcenter fails to create or migrate machines to my vVol Datasore. The vvold.log on my esx host says the following:
Code: Select all

https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00008302enw
Am I missing something? Also, when I provide the setting for the replication Mode (I can only choose Periodic), my Datastores show up as "Incompatible".
Thank you for any advice!
