RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines: Journalvolymer som är låsta till specifika ESXi-värdar kan leda till att datareplikering inte är tillgänglig och till reglering av omstart.

RecoverPoint för Virtual Machines använder journalvolymer för att spåra och hantera bilder till tidpunkter.
I en RP4VM-miljö kan ett problem uppstå som låser en journalvolym till en enda ESXi-värd.
Om vRPA-paret som tilldelats att replikera VM:arna flyttas till en annan ESXi-värd kan Data Replication Unavailable (DRU) inträffa.

Detta kan påverka alla konsekvensgrupper (CG:er) som tilldelats en viss RPA, vilket leder till att statusen blir DISABLE eller ERROR.

Replikeringsprocesskrascher kan ses:

Det leder till att RecoverPoint Appliance (RPA) kopplas från klustret.

Orsaken till denna situation undersöks för närvarande.
Ingen permanent lösning är tillgänglig för närvarande. Det är dock en situation som är specifik för RP4VM.

Situationen kan uppstå i olika scenarier:

1. När vRPA som ansvarar för att skydda en virtuell dator flyttas till en annan ESXi-värd, låser den ursprungliga ESXi-värden journalen till den specifika ESXi-värden.

2. När en konsekvensgrupp flyttar ägarskapet från ett vRPA-par till ett annat och därmed anropar situationen ovan.

Resolution:
Det finns en lösning på det här problemet, men åtgärder måste vidtas av Dell Technologies tekniska supportpersonal.  Korrekta RP4VMs-, ESXi- och vCenter-loggar bör samlas in för att sortera den här situationen och eskaleras vid behov. Kontakta Dell Technologies kundsupportcenter eller din servicerepresentant för teknisk support och hänvisa till detta lösnings-ID i Dell Technologies kunskapsbas.
