Environment
Live migration or protection of Windows and Linux workload
PlateSpin Protect 10.x and above
PlateSpin Forge 3.x and above
PlateSpin Migrate 9.x and above
PlateSpin Forge 3.x and above
PlateSpin Migrate 9.x and above
Situation
Windows/ Linux source workload being live migrated with Platespin Migrate or protected with Platespin Protect/Forge is running an application (database) which has a high transaction rate resulting in high disk IO. The migration/sync job of such workload will fail or not complete for extremely long period.
Resolution
It is recommended to keep disk IO low on source workload during migration/sync job. In rare situation, it may require stopping the application/services responsible for such high IO on source temporarily while sync job runs.
Cause
This is a limitation of Platespin block-based driver and the behavior is by design. The driver cannot handle a very high rate of changes to disk blocks.
