Hi All,
I have a few rogue replica's in View 5 and would like to clean them up.
I have 5 replica's, of which im pretty sure only 1 is in use. Is there a record somewhere of which pool is using which replica, or which vm is using which replica?
I know how to delete the rogue replica's but not how to identify which are actually in use!
Thanks,
Depending how far back your task events go you may be able to get the information from the replica itself. If you look under task/events it will show what has been cloned off the replica and the name of the VM.
The only method I'm aware of is to edit the header file of a Linked Clone, which will contain information as to what replica it is pointed to.
Alternatively, you can create an additional desktop in the pool and watch the event log to see which replica is used.
In a small environment you may be able to locate the linked clones by browsing the database tables
From the Composer database:
1. In dbo.SVI_SIM_CLONE, get the REPLICA_ID from the row that the linked clone virtual machine is shown under VM_NAME.
2. In dbo.SVI_REPLICA, match the REPLICA_ID found in step 1 under the ID column and get the value for that row under REPLICA_MOID.

Good info here Linjo. Thanks for sharing.
Hi,
Is there a way that I can identify the replica vm's from the MOB of vcenter/esx...
I know this very late, but there is a tool called "IC-Associated-VMs.exe" that can generate an HTML report showing what belongs to what

Hi toon97
You can follow below 2 KBs to find which replica belongs to which VM:
can you made this available for downloading please. it would be nice.
