The Quiescing seems to be the problem here.

Could you please try to take a Quiescing snapshot on one of the VM which is configure for replication. And see if you get the same issues.

I tried that, and found that I getting the same issues with Quiescing snapshot also.

[Himanshu_vmware · Accepted solution]

okay, In that case we need to turn off the Quiescing from replication end.

So that while triggering the replication it will not trigger the Quiescing snapshot.

And then test the if you get these errors.

Okay, I will do that confirm.
