    I was curious what would happen if I decided to move my Journal datastore location. Currently the every thing is pointing the same datastore and I am considering breaking it out. Would it just move the journal data to the new location? Thanks.

    Hello,

    Contara from Zerto Support.

    An administrator may want to change a datastore setting configured within a VPG, such as a journal datastore, or a target datastore.  This article explains the steps necessary to do so, so as to avoid any negative effects on replication.

    The VPG will go into an update state and in the background move the VMDKs from the original datastore to the new datastore

    Thank you.

    Hi Vasco,

    AJ from Zerto Support. Here is a link that explains how to change datastores for your journals.

    How to Change Recovery/Journal Datastore Selection in VPG Settings

    If the link doesn’t work for you, here are the steps

    To migrate the recovery and/or journal disks to different datastore(s), perform the following steps:

    1. Verify all hosts in the recovery host cluster can see the new datastore(s).
    2. Determine which VPG/VM/VMDK is going to replicate to the new datastore(s).
    3. Edit the VPG -> Replication Tab -> VM Settings -> Recovery and Journal Datastore settings and select the new target datastore(s) as desired.
    4. Once complete, press Done to submit the Edit VPG changes. This will initiate a Storage vMotion of the replication data to the new datastore(s) as desired.
    5. Repeat for each VM / VPG that requires replication data to be moved.

    Hope this information helps.
