  • 1.  vSAN with custom Storage Policy set as Default.

    Hi All

    We are looking to set a custom storage policy within our vSAN estate so that it is automatically applied to new VMs.

    However i am a little concerned in regard to the warning note.

    Default Storage Policies in vSphere (vmware.com)

    .

    Note: Do not designate a storage policy with replication rules as a default storage policy. Otherwise, the policy prevents you from selecting replication groups.

    .

    I find this really ambiguous is it specifically referring to a vSAN component or to a vMware replication product (SRM or vSphere Replication)

    TIA

    P

    it is referring to the replication products, not to vSAN indeed. So feel free to create a new policy and set that as the datastore default
