Monitoring the Status of Replications

You can view the status of replication tasks for a vCenter Server. The lists of forward and reverse replications are under the Replications tab of Site Recovery.

Table 1. Replication Statuses

Status	Description	Remediation
OK	The replication is running.	Not needed.
Not Active	The replication is not running at the moment. The source virtual machine is powered off. A communication problem might have occurred between the source ESXi host and the target site.	Power on the source virtual machine. If all replications for an ESXi host are in Not Active state, verify that the security rule Replication-to-Cloud Traffic is enabled on the host. This rule opens TCP ports from 10000 to 10010 for outgoing communication.
Paused	The replication is not running at the moment. A vSphere Replication user has paused the replication.	From the list of replications, select the paused replication and click the Resume icon.
Error	The replication is not running at the moment. A configuration error occurred. A replication error occurred. For example, the target site infrastructure is not accessible.	Reconfigure the replication. Verify whether some problem occurred on the virtual machine by clicking the Site Pair tab and clicking Issues.
Status (RPO violation)	For replication status OK, Sync, or Full Sync, the replication is running, but the RPO that is set for the replication is not met and is violated. For replication status Not Active or Error, the replication is not running, and the RPO that is set for the replication is violated. The network connection between the source and the target site is dropping intermittently. The bandwidth of the connection between the source and the target site is too low. The replication is not running, so data cannot be replicated on the target site.	Improve the network connection between the source and target site. Increase the RPO period. For replication status Not Active or Error, address the cause for the status and wait for the next sync.
