The reason 3PAR doesn't support replication today with VMware vVols is because VMware vVols doesn't support replication....yet. I can't share dates or versions but VMware is working on the next version of vVols and so is the 3PAR team. We'll support it when VMware does.

In fact there was a session at VMworld by my colleague Eric Siebert where he gave an overview of vVols and then talked about what's coming. I have a blog post with video of his session. The other video in the blog post is also a really good video talking about 3PAR and all-flash so check it out!

Hi Calvin,

VMware anounced support for VVOL array replication with VASA 3.0 in vSphere 6.5. Do have more information what is required on 3PAR side?
