RecoverPoint for VM-er: Journalvolumer som er låst til bestemte ESXi-verter, kan føre til at datareplikering blir utilgjengelig og at reglene for omstart blir omstart.

RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines bruker journalvolumer til å spore og administrere øyeblikksbilder.
I et RP4VM-miljø kan det oppstå et problem som låser et journalvolum til én enkelt ESXi-vert.
Hvis vRPA-paret som er tilordnet til å replikere de virtuelle maskinene, er vMotioned til en annen ESXi-vert, kan Data Replication Unavailable (DRU) forekomme.

Dette kan påvirke alle konsistensgruppene (CG-er) som er tilordnet til en bestemt RPA, noe som fører til at statusen blir DEAKTIVER eller FEIL.

Replikasjonsprosessen krasjer kan sees:

replication Sun May 19 20:38:21 UTC 2024

replication Sun May 19 23:03:56 UTC 2024

replication Sun May 19 23:28:46 UTC 2024

Dette fører til at RecoverPoint Appliance (RPA) kobles fra klyngen.

Årsaken til denne situasjonen blir for tiden undersøkt.
Ingen permanent løsning er tilgjengelig for øyeblikket; Det er imidlertid en situasjon som er spesifikk for RP4VM-er.

Situasjonen kan oppstå i ulike scenarier:

1. Når vRPA som er ansvarlig for å beskytte en virtuell maskin, overføres til en annen ESXi-vert når den opprinnelige ESXi-verten låser journalen til den bestemte ESXi-verten.

2. Når en konsistensgruppe flytter eierskap fra ett vRPA-par til et annet, og dermed aktiverer situasjonen ovenfor.

Resolusjon:
Det finnes en løsning på dette problemet, men intervensjon fra Dell Technologies' tekniske støttepersonell er nødvendig.  Riktige RP4VM-er, ESXi- og vCenter-logger bør samles inn for å sortere denne situasjonen og eskaleres etter behov. Kontakt Dell Technologies' kundestøttesenter eller din servicerepresentant for teknisk støtte, og referer til denne løsnings-ID-en i Dell Technologies' kunnskapsbase.
