Failover puts replication on hold... or not

Post by torteflo »

Hi,
I am concerned about a statement in VBR documentation :
"Veeam Backup & Replication temporarily puts replication activities for the original VM on hold (until the VM replica is returned to the Normal state)."
source : https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95

What does it mean exactly please?
Because here I am doing a failover, it works, but replication job for this VM continues to launch, and end with an error of course because replica VM is started.

Hi,

Yes, you observe the expected behavior. This statement means that you cannot run replication job, while destination VM is powered on (is in the failover state).

Thanks!

okay. Somehow not what I expected, I was thinking of job disabled or VM excluded as in other situation (when doing failback if I remember correctly..).
Thank you for your reply anyway,
Regards
