Using a vSAN Storage in Continuous Replication

You can configure continuous replication pairs for vSAN datastores.

Procedure

1. Create the head and tail VM storage policy on both the source and destination vCenter with the following capabilities.

   • Head policy must have the capability of the default storage policy and replication (cvtblrh).
   • Tail policy must have the capability of the default storage policy and caching (cvtblrt).

2. Get the capability ID from the vCenter Server:

   1. Go to https://<vCenterServer machine>/pbm/mob/?moid=ProfileManager&method=PbmRetrieveContent.

   2. Pass the default unique Id of the Commvault software version aa6d5a82-1c88-45da-85d3-3d74b91a5bad to the API.

   3. Copy the capability ID from the output.
      The capability ID is the string value of the PbmCapabilityMetadataUniqueId key in the output.

3. Add the entity settings as follows:

   Name	Entity	Value
   HeadIOFilterInfo	Head VSA proxy and Tail VSA proxy	Enter the storage policy name and the capability ID of the default storage policy in the following format: storage policy name;capability ID
   TailIOFilterInfo	Head VSA proxy and Tail VSA proxy	Enter the storage policy name and the capability ID of the default storage policy in the following format: storage policy name;capability ID

   Note

   If there are multiple capabilities for the default storage policy, you can enter any one of the capability ID.

4. Restart the head and tail proxy service.
