Handling a VPG within an Error State
When a volume connected to a virtual machine in a VPG is deleted, the VPG and all the virtual machines in that VPG enter an error state and an alert is issued.
When a VPG is in an error state, recovery operations cannot be performed.
Edit the VPG definition to resolve the error in one of the following ways.
■ Remove the virtual machine that was connected to the deleted volume from the VPG:
■ In the VPGs tab in the Zerto User Interface, select the VPG to be edited and click MORE > Edit VPG.
■ In the Edit VPG wizard, go to the VMs step.
■ Select the virtual machine to be removed and click the arrow pointing left.
■ Replace the volume that was deleted:
■ In the VPGs tab in the Zerto User Interface, select the VPG to be edited and click MORE > Edit VPG.
■ In the Edit VPG wizard, go to the STORAGE step and click the empty Recovery Volume Location field or select that row and click EDIT SELECTED.
■ In the Edit Volumes dialog that is displayed, choose the volume source: Storage or Preseeded volume, specify other volume options and click OK.
Notes:
If you choose a new volume, a volume initial sync is performed. During this period, new checkpoints are not added to the journal and recovery operations cannot be performed on the VPG.
If you choose a preseeded volume, a delta sync is performed. During this period, new checkpoints are not added to the journal but recovery operations are possible. During a delta sync, you can recover to the last checkpoint in the journal.
It is not possible to perform a move during a delta sync.
As soon as the VPG is updated, the VPG and all virtual machines in the VPG return to normal, and recovery operations can be performed on the VPG.
