The most recent VDP release notes (6.0.1) under Documentation issues says that vMotion must be disabled during backup window. Is this really a requirement? I could understand disable before doing a restore but not during backup window. My understanding is VDP should lock vmotion function at the beginning of a backup and re-enable it when complete. Why would I need to manually disable vMotion during backup window? Whats the point of DRS if I have to disable vmotion on all VMs and datastores all the time?
User must disable vMotion during backup window and before running restores to new (224181)
During the backup window and before running a restore to a new location, you must disable the vMotion feature at the VM and datastore levels.
