Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Unified Setup & Configuration Server Template

Improvements

• You can now protect and failback VMware VMs on Virtual Volumes (VVols) datastore.
• You can now protect and failback VMware VMs on NFS datastore.
• You can now protect and failback VMware VMs under vApp.

Issues fixed

• If Disk.Enable UUID is not set for the source VM or if the source VM has RDM physical disk, then while performing original location recovery, Azure Site Recovery creates a new disk instead of reusing the original disk that is attached to the source VM. After this update (Enable replication should be with the agent version 9.16), it will reuse the existing disk.
• An internal error occurs during failback when virtual machine port group switch is not available on the ESXi host where MT is present.

Mobility Service

Improvements

• Changes to Windows mobility service event log collection to not collect event parameters other than well-known parameters types such as Machine Name, Disk ID, and so on.

Microsoft Azure Recovery Service Agent

Issues fixed

• Recovery to an alternate location was not supported for Hyper VMs that are located on a host running Windows Server 2016 if they were protected with Microsoft Azure Recovery Services agent versions before version 2.0.9077.0. That issue is fixed in this rollup. You can now install the latest version and recover to an alternate location. This fix applies to the following scenarios:
  • Between an on-premises VMM site and Azure

  • Between an on-premises Hyper-V site and Azure

Microsoft Azure Site Recovery (Service)

Improvements

Automatic update of Mobility Service extension in Azure-to-Azure replication. To avoid the overhead that is associated with manually upgrading Site Recovery components, choose to allow Site Recovery to manage updates of the components. This feature is only applicable for replication of Azure VMs that currently use Azure Site Recovery.

Microsoft Azure Site Recovery (Portal)

Improvements

Adds a new management setting for automatic update of Site Recovery components. You can choose to allow Site Recovery to manage updates in the following ways:

• As part of the enable replication step

• By toggling the extension update settings inside the vault
