We're using VSC to quiesce VMs and back them up, then initiate a SnapMirror replication. SRM only sees the most recent snapshot, which is the SnapMirror's and not the VSC snapshot. So when we test, VMs...
View ArticleRe: Can SRM use NetApp VSC quiesced VM backups?
I am not a NetApp specialist, but this shoud be totally up to snapmirror. I really believe you can replicate after quiescing the VMs. SRM will only see the replica for failover, never uses snapshots...
