Resolution

DFS-Namespace (DFS-N):

DFS-Namespace is fully supported and can be used for both the Flex configuration share and the Flex profile archive share.

DFS-Replication (DFS-R):

DFS-Replication (DFS-R) can be used for the Flex configuration share, with the below Limitations:

• There is only support for a hub and spoke replication topology, where one primary share replicates to two or more members.
• Changes with the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console should always be made at the primary share.

DFS-Replication (DFS-R) can be used for the Flex profile archive share, but only in active-passive topology.
