vMotion

If you use vMotion to migrate a virtual machine, which is part of a VPG, from one ESX/ESXi host to another ESX/ESXi host, make sure of the following before moving the virtual machine:

• The ESX/ESXi host where you are moving the virtual machine to has a Virtual Replication Appliance (VRA) installed on it, as described in the Zerto Installation Guide.
• The virtual machine is not a test virtual machine running on the recovery site during the performance of a failover test, as described in Testing Recovery.

You cannot move a Virtual Replication Appliance (VRA) from one ESX/ESXi host to another. Also a virtual machine that is being updated from the VRA journal, after recovery has been initiated, cannot be moved until the promotion of data to the virtual machine completes.
