Hi mquintas,

I've the very same problem with vSphere Replication 6.1, have you solved it? Could you say me which was the cause of your issue?

Is there someone that had solved the same problem?

Regards

Seems likely to be some communication issue on the target site between VR > ESXi > datastore. Maybe VR appliance can't communicate with the ESXi hosts on the target site - I would say try a reboot of VR, and verify you have connectivity from VR to the ESXi hosts over port 902. Is it possible there were any IP changes on the ESXi hosts?

Otherwise, could there be some storage access issue on the target site? Maybe some hosts not able to connect to certain datastores?.

I struggled with this for a while - finally figured out the netmask was wrong. Check and configure using the following command:

/opt/vmware/share/vami/vamin_net_config

Also verify /etc/host is correct put the FQDN and the netbios name for the vSphere Replication server and vCenter server in it.
