Replication Error - Host is not powered on Error.

I have a three host vcenter running esentials plus license ESXi 5.1.

My issue is that, when I try to setup replication on one of the hosts vm machines I get this error message.

" The virtual machine (machine name) has failed validation and cannot be configured for replication.  Host is not powered on"

The VM's are running.......

VM's running on host 1 and 3 will allow replication setup and will replicate. But, on host 2, any of the VM's I try I get the error above.

Thanks in advance,

Ron

Well fixed it myself. Don't know what caused the replication appliance to say that the VM's were powered off on the 2nd host.

Rebooting the affected host fixed the issue.

" Have you tried turning it off and on again?"  Duh.... Just didn't want to disrupt the users and systems on that host.
