Cisco CSR 1000v Series User Manual

Supported VMware Features and Operations
VMware supports various features and operations that allow you to manage your virtual applications and
perform operations such as cloning, migration, shutdown and resume.
Some of these operations cause the runtime state of the VM to be saved and then restored upon restarting. If
the runtime state includes traffic-related state, then on resumption or replaying the runtime state, additional
errors, statistics, or messages are displayed on the user console. If the saved state is just configuration driven,
you can use these features and operations without a problem.
The table "Supported VMware Features and Operations: Storage Options (for Both vCenter Server and vSphere
Client)" lists the VMware features and operations that are supported on the Cisco CSR 1000v. For more
information about VMware features and operations, see the VMware Documentation .
The following VMware features and operations are not supported in all versions of the Cisco CSR 1000v, but
can still be used or performed on non-supported versions at the risk of encountering dropped packets, dropped
connections, and other error statistics:
•
Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS)
