"unable to find datacenter containing placeholder VM on SRM 6.1"

Do you have a placeholder datastore configured for the other site? it is a common mistake to configure the placeholder datastore for the recovery site only, thus allowing you to configure recovery, but then failing on the failback. please verify that a placeholder datastore is set for both sites.

see:

Select a Placeholder Datastore

It is the SRM 6.1 documentation so it should be version correct.
