VRA 8.6 and vSphere 6.7 U3 SDRS

We completed our homework related to SDRS testing with vRA8.Testing was performed on vRA8 DEV env and in our DEV vCenter, we have dedicated storage cluster with 2x5TB LUNs with SDRS set up to full auto. Both advance properties VraInitPlacement and VraExpandDisk are set to 1. Same storage cluster is used for vRA7 deployments where everything works as expected.
