UI issue re-mapping replicas?

[pkelly_sts]

Thought I'd post this here in case anyone else sees similar issues.

I've migrated to a new Vcenter so am editing a replica job to "remove" the VMs from the (now non-existent) old vCenter and simply re-adding the exact same VMs from the new vCenter.

This replication job runs from a backup copy (sitting at the destination site) so the intention is to map to the existing VMs & just let them sort it out.

For the second time doing this I've got to the screen where I should be able to "Detect" mappings (which normally works well) but nothing happens.

So, I laboriously start the process of manually mapping to the replicas but on every VM I get the following popup:

"VM <vm name_replica> is already specified as a mapping target"

But then it goes on to complete the mapping anyway!

I don't even know what log files to extract to log a case on this one but more importantly I can't afford the time to wait right now (i.e. to hold-fire here until support get back to me so they can take a look before I complete the task) but thought it was worth at least mentioning.

Paul, thanks for reporting. We'll take a look, however, appreciate if you could collect the full logs package.

Happy to collect logs, got any ideas which ones it will need?

[foggy]

You can collect all of them using the Help > Support Information command in the main menu. Thanks!

Ah so just the logs for the replication job I was editing - gottit...

[foggy]

Yes, I suppose that would be enough.

Had the same issue on another replica job (so that's 3/3 so far) so just opened case 01972912.

Thanks, this will speed up the investigation.
