I've seen servers that have active and inactive in replication . when I check the replication settings. there are inactive and active vm's in job. so i didnt understand that what is mean inactive vm's. can i delete it . if there is no replication in the other region, they take up storage space and if I delete them I can save space from storage space
Also i have another question is on vcenter 6.5. i see free size is 4 tb but on nutanix mangement screen free size is 11 tb. why do i see it so different. If the virtual machine is deleted, there is a space recovered on the storage side.
Question
What are the differences between active and inactive VMs?

If you still experience this issue and are concerned about it, please let us know.
Without knowing exact situation, I am guessing what you refer to as “replication settings”, my guess is perhaps you mean the “protection domain detail→ detail” in protection domain page where you have selected a PD. I realize I may be wrong, but I leave to you to correct me. If that is the case, the value ”inactive” for the mode reflects the fat that the PD doe snot have any “scheduled snapshot”. My guess is that your servers are associated with a PD and that PD is highlighted and you see “inactive” there, correct me if I am wrong.
As for you other concern, the free storage space discrepancy “may be” due to the fact that the “compression” and” de-duplication” are on for that data store, there may be other reasons too, but in general you would need to trust what Nutanix shows as oppose to the hyperviosr as the Nutanix controls the storage level.
