Cause

 Deployer API from vRPA2 is using an obsolete endpoint on vRPA1.

Resolution

Workaround:
Before the NDU replacement, make vRPA1 the site control by rebooting vRPA2.

If the NDU replacement fails, make vRPA1 the site control by rebooting vRPA2 and retry the NDU replacement.

Resolution:
This issue is addressed in the RecoverPoint 5.3.1.
