VM Recovery Manager DR for Power Systems Version 1.5.0.1 DR
Enhancements in the VM Recovery Manager DR for Power Systems Version 1.5.0.1
1. DR support for EMC Unity storage with asynchronous replication:
Consistency Group will be created for the EMC Unity disks automatically and supports
verification, planned, unplanned DR operations. Also supports failover rehearsal.
2. Enhanced unmanaged disk support:
Unmanaged disk feature allows to include disk only in the home/production site and excludes the disk,
when VM restarted at backup site. Previously unmanaged disk also need to be replicated site.
It is enhanced to configure unmanaged disk for non-replicated disks.

II. Discovery is allowed in HADRHA configs, when non-active site is down. It helps for HA
config setup after a unplanned DR operation.
