Greg from VMware support came back on this one ....

Error: Replication "TestVM" on the source site has been force-stopped.

This is an issue with the hbr disks and the sync, as opposed to the configuration of the environment.

The only way to get around this is to recreate the replication for the VM from as new.

You will need to force stop the replication to delete the replicated data and then re-configure the VM's replication.

Make sure all target sites are authenticated under the Manage tab for vsphere Replication.

Make sure after Force Stop the VM is removed from the incoming and outgoing tabs for the sites.

You could also replicate the disks to a new datastore to ensure the new data does not get referenced in anyway to the old.

SSH commands

You can run these commands from ssh to query the replication of a VM.

#vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms grep -i VMname

GID=> # vim-cmd hbrsvc/vmreplica.getConfig VMID

#vmreplica.getState Returns the state of replication. If there is currently a replication task in progress it will show the status of the ongoing replication.

#vmreplica.queryReplicationState Returns the current replication state of a virtual machine and the amount of data transferred.
