Maintaining your scratch disk
The second disk — scratch disk — on your VA contains a hash file for each replicated VM. vRanger uses this file to identify changed data blocks during replication. When upgrading the VA, consider migrating the scratch disk from your legacy VA to the upgraded version. This migration ensures that your hash files are maintained. For more information, see Upgrading your VA.
NOTE: If you are using a VMware® vCenter™ version earlier than 6.0, the ability to change the datastore of the VA scratch disk used for replication is not available.For more information about the scratch disk, see the Quest vRanger User’s Guide.
