Veritas File Replicator has the following limitations:

• Replication of compressed files on the source system does not result in compressed files on the target system.

• VFR is only supported on source and target systems with Veritas File System (VxFS) file systems with disk layout version 9.

• File systems are identified only by mount point and file system type. If a different file system is mounted in place of the original file system used, VFR may not detect the new file system.

• VFR replicates in one direction, however the replication direction can be manually changed in the event of a disaster.

• VFR does not provide any security options and must run on a private secure network if security is desired.

• The source and destination file systems must have the same file system block size.

• VFR daemons are not highly available.

• Cluster mounts used on a target must be managed by VCS.

• If replication is enabled for a file system, it should not be resized to a smaller size using fsvoladm resize command.
