VMware® vSphere® license

Equivalent version support policy

In addition to what is listed in this document, vRanger supports VMware® versions where the following criteria have been met:

 
* 
NOTE: The naming convention used in this policy topic follows the standard product release version scheme of Major.Minor.Update.Patch.
•
VMware updates or patches to a supported major or minor release are also supported, unless otherwise stated.
•
Major or minor versions that are newer than what is listed in this documentation are not supported and require a separate qualification effort, unless otherwise stated.

vRanger and VM snapshots

The vRanger backup and replication functionality requires the ability to create a snapshot. In certain circumstances, the creation of VM snapshots is not supported by VMware®. In these cases, backup and replication of these VMs or disks is not possible. Some common examples are:

•
RDM Disks in physical compatibility mode
•
Disks in independent mode
•
Fault-tolerant VMs

 

* 
NOTE: This list is not exhaustive. Any configuration in which snapshots are not supported by VMware, or not possible, is not supported by vRanger.
