The reprotect process can pass through several states that you can observe in the recovery plan in the VMware Live Site Recovery user interface.

If reprotect fails, or succeeds partially, you can perform remedial actions to complete the reprotect.

Table 1. Reprotect States
State Description Remedial Action
Reprotect In Progress

VMware Live Site Recovery is running reprotect.

None

Partial Reprotect

Occurs if multiple recovery plans share the same protection groups and some of the protection groups were successfully reprotected in another plan.

Run reprotect again on the partially reprotected plans.

Incomplete Reprotect

Occurs because of failures during reprotect. For example, this state might occur because of a failure to perform a reverse replication or a failure to create а placeholder virtual machines.

  • If a reprotect operation fails to perform a reverse replication, make sure that sites are connected, review the reprotect progress in the VMware Live Site Recovery UI, and start the reprotect task again. If reprotect still does not succeed, run the reprotect task with the Force Cleanup option.
  • If VMware Live Site Recovery fails to create placeholder virtual machines, recovery is still possible. Review the reprotect steps in the VMware Live Site Recovery user interface, resolve any problems, and run reprotect again.
Reprotect Interrupted

Occurs if one of the VMware Live Site Recovery Servers stops unexpectedly during the reprotect process.

Ensure that both VMware Live Site Recovery Servers are running and start the reprotect task again.

Ready

Occurs when the reprotect finishes successfully.

None.
