uncleanly removal of vmware replication from vcenter

hello,

We have customer who, had paused replication for some vms and cleanly removed the vmware replication appliance.

the appliance is still intact but removed from the vcenter

I can get the vmware replication from:

vim-cmd hbrsvc/vmreplica.getConfig

In the vcenter - per vm still activated for replication - i get this error:

No Connection to VR Server: Not responding

What are my options here to make sure the vms is clean and i proceed to install veeam instead?.

I was thinking if i could get the appliance up running or deploy a empty one.

envorinment is vmware 5.5

Lars

hello

Just for sharing, solved it using this:

Remove vSphere replication from the affected VM


1. vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms |grep “NAME OF THE VM”

2. vim-cmd hbrsvc/vmreplica.disable [VM #]

Apperently thats the only way to move on :smileyshocked:
