All VCS-supported replication agents listed on SORT are supported inside LPARs (virtual) with virtual devices. The LPAR support matrix is the same as the VCS support matrix. If VCS is supported inside a vitual machine on a virtualization platform, then the replication agent is also supported.

For Linux:

Pre-requisite for replication agent support in virtual environments:

Make the following disks visible to the LPAR as pass thru devices (NPIV) for the following replication agents:

Exception:

Firedrill functionality is not supported in virtual environments for the following replication agents:

Only Firedrill functionality is affected: these replication agents can still be used to manage replication inside LPARs.
