This article summarizes what's supported when you use the Azure Site Recovery service for disaster recovery of VMware VMs or Windows/Linux physical servers to a secondary VMware site.

Note

Replication of on-premises VMware VMs and physical servers is provided by InMage Scout. InMage Scout is included in Azure Site Recovery service subscription.

End-of-support announcement

The Site Recovery scenario for replication between on-premises VMware or physical datacenters is reaching end-of-support.

  • From August 2018, the scenario can’t be configured in the Recovery Services vault, and the InMage Scout software can’t be downloaded from the vault. Existing deployments will be supported.

    • From December 31 2020, the scenario won’t be supported. Existing partners can onboard new customers to the scenario until support ends.

  • During 2018 and 2019, two updates will be released:

    • Update 7: Fixes network configuration and compliance issues, and provides TLS 1.2 support.
    • Update 8: Adds support for Linux operating systems RHEL/CentOS 7.3/7.4/7.5, and for SUSE 12
    • After Update 8, no further updates will be released. There will be limited hotfix support for the operating systems added in Update 8, and bug fixes based on best effort.
