Issue/Introduction

The folder name and files associated with the placeholder virtual machine on the placeholder datastore are suffixed with '-phVm

 

 

 

 

Environment

VMware vSphere ESXI 8.0
VMware Live Site Recovery 9.x

Cause

'phVm' suffix is applied to avoid name collisions with folders created by vSphere Replication or array-based replication.

Resolution

This is an expected behaviour. phVm suffix is removed on recovery.
