    Description

      The VMotion feature of vSphere (and of ESXi, which really does the work) is setup to provide service availability and storage availability by virtual of a distributed file system shared amongst all cluster members.

      Our replica set feature does the same thing. Using VMotion with Replica Set is duplicate effort and causes problems.

      If the move of the RS member takes too long, then elections occur. I recently had a case where this was clearly the problem.

      We should recommend against using VMotion with Replica Sets.
