Hello, thank you for answering.
1. Do you get any errors when plan eventually fails/times out? Please share screenshot, if possible.
I waited for about 20 minutes and no fail/timeout, just repeated tasks trying to delete files.
I disabled HA on Protected Site from which the VM is "recovered" and that helped, Delete file task completed as well as Recovery Plan changed to Recovery Complete status. Disabling HA on Recovery Site does nothing at this point.
BTW, the "recovered" machine, by the time SRM tries to delete files, has already been vMotion'ed to the recovery site and working.
2. Any custom HA settings for affected VM ?
No, HA is pretty much just enabled on Cluster, no custom settings are enabled on specific VM. I tried to change Heartbeat Datastores to one's that are not protected by SRM but this does nothing.
3. How many VMs are reporting this symptom ?
I've tested three separate protection groups (separate datastores) with their own recovery plans and all of the have the same syptom, they are all stuck at step 19.1.2.1. when SRM is trying to delete a file from datastore and it tries to repeatedly delete files, when one delete task fails it immidiately tries again and it goes on and on.
4. Do you face similar issues when trying to manually do a cross vCenter vMotion of a non-protected VM ?
Cross vCenter vMotion works without an issue, when I initiate Migration with changing compute resources only migration starts, half-way through a new task/event is popping up "Initiate vMotion receive operation" and it completes without any issues as well. VM is properly migrated to other site.
