Storage DRS
vSphere Storage DRS (also known as SDRS) leverages the Storage vMotion feature when congured for fully automated mode.
VMware Tools
vSphere snapshots leverage and rely on the VMware Tools installation inside of the guest virtual machine for VSS integration to obtain
application and data consistent snapshots. A VMware Tools failure likely results in the failure of a Replay Manager job and/or negatively
aects the necessary application and data consistency desired in a Replay.
NOTE: Ensure that the VMware Tools software inside each guest virtual machine is current. Doing so increases the reliability and
success of Replay Manager jobs. VMware Tools generally need to be upgraded with each new version of the vSphere Hypervisor
installed. It is most important to upgrade the software when there is a major version release.
