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.
