When you change a target storage policy and the target datastore is vSAN, the base disk storage policy is updated, but the child disk storage policy still refers to the previous storage policy.

Solution

  1. Reconfigure the replication to exclude the disk from the replication.
  2. Deactivate the MPIT, if activated.
  3. Perform a manual synchronization and verify that the hbrdisk.* file is removed.
    Verify this by checking the vSAN cluster monitoring user interface.
  4. Reconfigure the replication to include the previously excluded disk.
  5. Reconfigure the replication to select the desired storage policy.
  6. Activate the MPIT, if deactivated.
