Have setup a protection group for datastores. However when I run a recovery plan it stops at Step 4. Create Writable storage snapshot. With error message below.
Hello,
2 things noted.
1. It turns out there was an orphaned VM included in the protection group. Had to remove the VM from the VCenter inventory.
2. There was a Vm on the local datastore, all it's disks and config files were there. However it had an ISO file from the replicated datastore still attached to the CD/DVD drive. When I removed the attachment, it stopped using the datastore.
When I resolved those 2 issues, those errors were cleared.
Hi @dr_robot ,
Please ensure that the VM config files and all it's hard disks reside on a datastore that is replicated by storage array.
Hope that helps
