codyhosterman Thank you for your reply. Could this have anything to do with the LUN being created just hours before starting to use it? Or the replica not really ready yet? Although as far as I know, these are thin so I’d expect the LUN to be created in seconds and immediately ready also on the replica side.

Are there ESXi log queries I could check? Any event that shows the switch between supported / unsupported?
