docs: tagged checkpoints do work on cloud-protected VPGs
The repo said, in four places, that a tagged checkpoint cannot be inserted when the protected site is Azure or AWS. That came from the 9.0 API reference. It is wrong on 10.9.10. Measured against the lab: both an AWS-protected and an Azure-protected VPG accepted the insert, the Zerto task reached Completed, and the checkpoint appeared in the journal. This is the second doc claim this repo carried that live 10.9 contradicts, after the VPG status enum. What actually differs is latency and granularity, and both are set by the PROTECTED site, not the recovery site: protected at journal gap tag visible after vSphere 5s ~4s Azure 60s ~34s AWS 630s ~128s There is a sharper consequence than slowness. The tagged checkpoint is stamped about 30s AFTER the insert request, so on a cloud-protected VPG an agent that mutates promptly puts its change inside the checkpoint that was supposed to precede it. Recovering from that tag would restore the broken state. The docs now say to use the newest checkpoint that already existed when the guard ran. Two of the four were message text, not prose. wait_for_tag's timeout message asserted the insert was unsupported when the real cause was its own 45s budget being far too short for a VPG that checkpoints every 630s, so it told operators the wrong thing at exactly the wrong moment. It now says to check the Zerto task before concluding the insert failed. The 45s timeout itself is still wrong for cloud sources and needs to become cadence-aware. That is a behaviour change, so it is not in this commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016yVfC5nvZowoLFnEGWhLGn

## Facts that bite
|
||||
|
||||
- A tagged checkpoint is crash-consistent, not app-quiesced.
|
||||
- Tagged checkpoints are not supported when the **protected** site is Azure or AWS. Talk to the vSphere protected ZVM.
|
||||
- Tagged checkpoints work on Azure and AWS protected VPGs, but they appear late:
|
||||
~34s (Azure) and ~128s (AWS) versus ~4s on vSphere, and the checkpoint is stamped
|
||||
about 30s after you ask for it. On those VPGs the tag can end up *after* your
|
||||
change, so treat the newest checkpoint that already existed as the rewind point.
|
||||
- 10.9 FLR Operator RBAC fails; Administrator is the documented workaround.
|
||||
- FLR cannot run during clone, test, live failover, or EJC.
|
||||
- Linux FLR: files >1.5GB are a bad idea; some characters in names are refused.
