Solved: Cannot remove protected VM from SRM

thoraldq · ‎09-26-2023

Hi Team

I am unable to remove a protected VM from SRM. I get the following error:

Object 'GID-62135a04-3f26-46db-9354-db4ba33b547b' is locked by another ongoing operation in vSphere Replication Management Server. Try again later.

I am attempting to remove and reproject because VM could failed to complete replication.

I've retried after a day but still no luck.

Anyone ever face the same issue?

Thanks however this worked for me;

Power cycle the vSphere Replication Appliance on both the DR and Production environment. Note that this means a full power off of the VM, then power on, not a guest reboot. You may get an alert when doing this about how the VM is managed elsewhere, you can ignore it for this since we are only doing a power off and on.
Power cycle the SRM appliances on both the DR and Production environment. Same notes apply as in Step 1.
After some time, Retry the Reprotect for the VM.
