I'm looking at using SAN replication as an option for a DR scenario.
I'm currently using vSphere 4.0 but will shortly be upgrading to vSphere 5.0
I'm limited to the volume of data and the amount of LUNs that I can replicate.
Firstly I believe in vSphere 5 it is now possible to create snapshots is a datastore other than the one where the virtual machines configuration files reside by modifying the 'workingDir' in the vmx file.
Now, if I do this but don't replicate the snapshot datastore to DR what will the effect be on the virtual machines when they can no longer see the snapshot datastore?
