Hi

This thread is related with the previous one that I opened some days ago but it was already closed as solved.

https://next.nutanix.com/nutanix-disaster-recovery-29/replicated-recovery-points-not-found-error-45362

In summary:

  1. I’ve recently deployed a pair of AHV clusters, each one with his on Prism Central.
  2. Later I’ve created a specific container for testing purpose called “Replica-Container” on both sites
  3. I’ve moved some test VMs to that specific container and and I’ve created a manual bi-directional syncronous replica between both sites.
  4. I’ve manualy added the test VMs to the protection plan and I’ve waited some time for them to replicate between sites.
  5. Finaly I’ve created two different Recovery plans
    • Recovery Plan1 - recover VMs from site1 at site2
    • Recovery Plan2 - recover VMs from site2 at site1

I’ve validated both plans (succesfuly) and I’ve performed a Test.

The initial test worked fine for plan2, however Recovery Plan1 shows this error:

 

 

I assumed that I should have to wait more time to perform the sync between sites so I’ve waited some hours to perform new test but the result was always the same.

Then I’ve shutdown the test VMs from site1 and then I’ve launched a Recovery Plan1 test again… and it worked fine!!

After the test I cleaned the test-entities, I powered on the test VMs, then I waited some minutes and then I‘ve repeated the Recovery plan1 test but it failed again with the same initial error.

So at this point I see the following behaviour:

  • Recovery plan2 (VMs from site2 are recovered on site1) always works in any VM condition
  • Recovery plan1 (VMs from site1 are recovered on site2) only works if VMs are previously powered off

Does it makes any sense?? 

Thanks

Did you add the VM's to the recovery plan? Or are you using categories and added the categories to the recovery plan?  (Categories is more dynamic and should be used)

 

And also, please look into the “Data Protection” view/group in prism central to see if all virtual machines are correctly protected.  (in the screensho there is no info but in yours all should be protected)

Hi
At the begining I’ve tested it by using categories to assign the protection policy and the recovery plan, however as mentioned betfore the initial tests didnt work so I manualy added the VMs to the protection policy and recovery plan. 

Regarding the protection screen that you mentioned they are shown as protected and synced:

Site1

Site2
 



However, I’ve done a new test with the VMs on site1 on poweroff state and it has already failed:

That is strange as it says it is in a synced state. I would involve nutanix support in this case.

Sure! I was planning to open a support case but before that I was trying to fix it by myself in case it was just a missing config.

Anyway, I will open a support case and I will provide any feedback here.
