View / Replicas Not Displaying

Thread needs solution

I have one VM I'm replicating every hour in case of failure to a secondary storage area. However when I go to VIEW / REPLICAS it does not show up there. Shouldn't they display any active replica jobs there? Or does it need to actually be mounted for it to show up?

I wouldn't want it to be live because I'd get ip conflicts if both were active.

I'm just wondering how the replication part works..

Hi Steve,

The View->Replicas view shows the list of VMs which are identified as replicas by Acronis vmProtect on the vCenter/ESXi hosts (registered under Configure->ESXi hosts). The identification of replica is performed by the "acronisTag.xxx" properties in the .vmx configuration. From this view you can perform failover/failback/delete operations, while the replication process itself is managed from the standard View->Tasks view where you can schedule or adjust your replication settings. Therefore the active replica tasks are displayed under View->Tasks. The replica can be optionally connected to network upon failover (you can connect it to any network on the underlying ESXi host), and you can also start it without connecting to network of course.

Thank you.

That is my point. I have my vcenter listed in Configure ESXi hosts. I created the replica using acronis through vcenter so the replica should be identified as a replica by Acronis. It is not showing up as a replica in the list and should be.

Or maybe the replica need to be ON for it to be registered in that view?

Hi Steve,

The symptoms you describe are not normal. The replica VM should be always present under View->Replicas no matter whether it is started or not. I've attached a couple of screen shots showing how it should look like (including properties of the replica VM).

In order to investigate the issue, can you please send me in private message a couple of screen shots illustrating the issue (a screen shot of vSphere client which shows where replica is and whether it has the necessary properties in configuration + screen shot of View->Replicas and Configure->ESXi hosts from vmProtect web interface). Additionally I'll need to check the contents of /var/lib/Acronis/vmProtect/ folder (packed in .zip) taken from the vmProtect virtual appliance as described in Troubleshooting section of the following KB article: http://kb.acronis.com/content/36100

This would give me a full picture of what went wrong.

Thank you.

Hi Steve, I was just curios about this issue. Can you please share on how you were able to fix this?
