NOTE: RMV supports maximum eight VMs within a Local or Remote Copy group. RMV allows
snapshots to be taken for more than eight VMs for application consistent Local and Remote Copies.
However, if you select more than 8 VMs, a warning message is displayed and the Snapshot creation
for application consistency might fail due to the time required to quiesce the VMs.
WorkaroundDescription
It is recommended that the VMware Datastore Browser’s
Copy and Paste functions be used to preserve the VMware
Thin-Provisioning disk feature.
When using the HP 3PAR Copy to Datastore option to copy
or clone a Thinly-Provisioned virtual disk to a Datastore, the
newly created virtual disk is fully populated.
Manage the Virtual Copy from the HP 3PAR tab, or define
Microsoft Internet Explorer as the default web browser.
Creating a Virtual Copy for a VM by right-clicking a Virtual
Machine from the left panel of the VI client may not function
correctly if Microsoft Internet Explorer is not the Microsoft
Windows default web browser.
All WWNs of the Fibre Channel host adapters from an ESX
host must be defined as a single host name on the HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage system.
A single ESX host that contains multiple host names on an
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system is not supported.
