For stretched clusters or data centers, consider the vMotion and Metro vMotion latency requirements between hosts. vMotion requires a round-trip latency of 5 ms or less between hosts on the vMotion network. vSphere Metro Storage Cluster boosts the allowable round-trip latency 5 ms–10 ms on the vMotion network between sites with Enterprise Plus licensing.
Note: Metro Volume requires 5ms or less latency.
When host connectivity is properly configured along with the appropriate path selection policy, migrating virtual machines between PowerStore clusters in a Metro Volume configuration should work as designed. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
