Vmware : What level of consistency do I get?

That depends on what version of vSphere you are running and what Guest OS you have.


* Special requirements for application consistency on Windows 2008/R2, see below.

  • Dynamic Disks are not supported
  • SCSI disks only
  • disk.EnableUUID attribute must be enabled.
    • Enabled default on VMs created on vSphere 4.1
    • VMs created on prior vSphere 4.1, following procedure must be followed:
      • Power off your Windows 2008 VM
      • Edit Settings - Options - General - Configurations Parameters - Add Row - Name=disk.EnableUUID Value=true


To make sure all your VMs have Legato Sync Driver Disabled, VSS Enabled and disk.EnableUUID configured correctly will take a serious amount of time if you have to connect to each VM manually and verify everything.
