This section lists the various faults thrown by the Site Recovery Manager APIs.
| Fault | Description |
|---|---|
| AgentVmNotSupported | Thrown when an agent VM is used in an operation that does not support it. |
| AlreadyExists | The name, key, or identifier of the element already exists in the collection. |
| AlreadyLoggedInFault | The session is already logged in, and Login was called again. |
| AlreadyPairedFault | Thrown if an attempt to pair already paired SRM was made. |
| ArrayManagerInUse | Thrown when removing an array manager in use. |
| ArrayNotFound | Thrown when storage array with the specified ID cannot be found. |
| ArrayPairInUse | Thrown when removing an array pair in use. |
| ArrayPairNotFound | Thrown when existing array pair is not found in discoverArrays response. |
| CannotMapDvsUplinkPortgroup | Invalid DVPortgroup network specified for the mapping). Use this fault when site context is obvious from used mapping type(test mappings) or the operation itself. |
| CannotProtectDatastore | Base fault for failure to add a datastore to protection group. To fix remove the datastore from the protection group. |
| CannotUnprotectDatastoreInUse | Cannot remove a datastore from protection group because it is used by protected VM(s). |
| CannotProtectFTSecondaryVm | Fault thrown when a user tries to protect a VM which is a fault tolerance secondary VM. |
| CannotProtectVm | Cannot add virtual machine to the protection group. |
| CertificateCtlSignatureNotValid | Thrown when a certificate trust list used to create this chain did not have a valid signature. |
| CommandFailed | Failed to execute SRA command. |
| ConfigFileNotReplicated | The VM's config file is located on a datastore which is either not replicated or not protected by the protection group in which the VM is being protected. |
| ConnectionDownFault | Thrown if the VMOMI connection to the remote server is down. |
| ConnectionLimitReached | Thrown when the configured connection limit has been reached. |
| DatastoreAlreadyProtected | Datastore cannot be added to this group because it is already part of another protection group. |
| DatastoreMissingProtection | Base fault for datastore missing from the protection group. |
| DatastoreNotReplicated | Cannot protect datastore because underlying storage devices are not configured for replication. |
| DatastoreProtectionIssue | Base fault for datastore-specific protection issues. |
| DependencyConflict | UpdateVmSettings operation was attempted that might cause a dependency cycle. |
| DeviceBackingConflict | If the caller specified a device locator, or explicitly excluded, a device which the provider would like to protect. |
| DeviceBackingConflict | Fault thrown when a user attempts to protect or reconfigure protection for a VM, specifying one or more backing locators which conflict with those chosen by the provider. |
| DeviceGroupMatchingFault | Reported when a device group cannot be matched to a peer device group. |
| DeviceMatchingFault | Reported when a device cannot be matched to a peer device. |

The error can be corrected by restoring the replication group to the expected state using the storage array instruments and tools. |
| GroupTargetsNotFound | Target replication groups cannot be found. This occurs when the group is not in the correct state. Check storage policy assignment. |
| IllegalMove | Thrown when a folder is moved to an invalid place in the folder hierarchy. This can be because the move would create a cycle or the destination is the wrong kind of container. |
