SRM/VR - The capacity of the seed disk does not match the capacity of the replication source disk

[winsolo]

vCenter 6.7.0 Build: 15976728

Source SRM (On-Prem): 8.3.0, 16356494

Destination VR (VMC on AWS): 8.3.0, 16356494

vCenter 7.0.0 Build: 16345689

Source VR (On-Prem): 8.3.0.7861, 16284276

Destination VR (VMC on AWS): 8.3.0.7861, 16284276

After having expanded a drive (server_3.vmdk) on a VM on-prem, unable to add the server back to the Protection Group. This used to work on previous version of VR (On prem and VMC on AWS): 8.2.0, 14383137. Does anyone have any idea why?

Hi

If you are trying to re-configure VM replication with existing seed after increase disk capacity of a VM, then you need to increase the disk capacity of replica VMDK as well

Steps 5 to 8 --> VMware Knowledge Base

If you do not want to use replica seeds at target vsan storage, you can move the files to a different directory

VMware Knowledge Base

Hope that helps

ashilkrishnan​, don't you think the instructions in KB2052883 do not apply in my case, as we're talking about accessing the DR ESXi host in VMC on AWS via SSH? I doubt SSH is possible to hosts in VMC

Hi

I missed about the AWS part. Sorry about that

I do not handle replication to cloud environment. Let's wait for a reply from someone who handles such environments

I will reply if I find something to related to this issue
