VHD sets for guest clustering in Hyper-V

Hello,

We’ve got a customer that requires Zerto Replication of their SQL Cluster, from Hyper-V to VMware. They’ve attempted to use a shared VHDX disk for the quorum, however shared VHDX disks can’t be replicated in Zerto as per the documentation. They are now looking at using the VHD sets feature in Server 2016.

Can you tell me if this is a supported feature for Zerto replication? I can’t see anything in forums or the documentation about this.

Thanks
