We have several VMs that are configured to use vSphere Replication.
I backed up one of these, and did a trial restore, after a few seconds it fails with the error:
"Invalid or unsupported virtual machine configuration" and the error stack says:
"vSphere Replication does not support changing the length of a replicated disk"
Now at the moment, we're kind of screwed, since the DR site is not accessible, there's no way to actually remove the replication settings from the VM, since as soon as I try I get a "VR appliances should be installed and configured on both sites, paired, and connected in order to configure replication".
Great, thanks a lot, so not only is my replication down, but I can't even do backups?
So, why is the error happening when I try to do a restore? Why is vSphere replication even being mentioned? I thought vDP was entirely independent of replication, but it appears not. Any clues?
