ASR supportability
At the time of writing, ASR supports replication from the following sources:
- Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 and 2016
- vSphere 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5
- Physical servers
Hyper-V servers
As mentioned earlier, you can only replicate Hyper-V VMs from Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016. However, if you are managing your Hyper-V hosts with System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), you can use it to replicate VMs from Hyper-V hosts.
At the time of writing, SCVMM 2012 R2 and 2016 are the supported versions to work with ASR.
Note
You need to install the latest updates for your Hyper-V hosts and SCVMM to avoid any issues during replication. Also, you need to make sure that your SCVMM 2016 cloud does not support the co-existence of Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012 R2 hosts. If there are any configurations that include the upgrade from SCVMM 2012 R2 to 2016, it will not be supported.
The following table specifies the supported and unsupported configurations for Hyper-V hosts and...
