Setting up SRM5 and vSphere Replication in a lab environment. I have two sites setup with their own vCenter servers in linked mode. Install of the VRMS and VRS appliances went as advertised with no errors. When I enable replication on one VM, it reports "Configure Replication Successful" with no errors. However, in SRM under vSphere Replication, the VM shows up as "Not Active". Hitting "Synchronize Now" results in an error:
Call "HmsGroup.OnlineSync" for object "GID<bunch of stuff>" on Server "<server ip>" failed. An unknown error has occurred.
Investigating the vmkernel logs on the ESXi host with the source VM I found this:
2012-07-12T21:30:05.860Z cpu1:593614)WARNING: Hbr: 938: Failed to find NetWorker for groupID=GID-dc6e77d9-f516-408b-9d11-8ea3b315e253
The persistent state file it says it can't find is there. Any ideas?
Hello,
I get the same problem when I want to replicate a particular VM. I can replicate many other VMs but only for one of them, I get this error.
I found that it might be a firewall settings(http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/microsite.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2018470...), but since I can replicate other VMs without any problem, I guest that I must look for another solution.
Anyone can help with that issue?
Thank you.
Did you ever get this resolved? I'm running into the same issue.
Yes actually. I forgot about this other thread and documented the solution here:
