Maintained VM Properties when Recovering to a vCenter Server Site from a Protected AWS Site
The following conversions are done to a protected virtual machine when it is recovered in vSphere:
■ The SCSI controller type is operating system dependent.
■ All disks are thin provisioned.
■ Recovered virtual machines use the VMware Virtual E1000 network adapter.
■ Operating systems will be either Windows 2012 (64-bit) or Linux Other (64-bit)
■ Memory and CPU properties will be extracted from the instance type in AWS.
The following tables display settings that are retained when recovering to a vCenter Server site from AWS:
