Troubleshooting Needs Configuration Problems
When the VPG status changes to Needs Configuration, the settings in the VPG need to be checked and, when necessary, updated.
The following scenarios result in the VPG status changing to Needs Configuration:
■ A protected disk resize operation fails, for example when there is not enough disk space.
■ When a volume is added to a protected virtual machine and the added volume has no matching storage or not enough room on the recovery storage.
■ When a volume is added to a protected virtual machine and the VPG settings are not updated because of a site disconnection or a vCenter Server error. In some situations, after the sites reconnect, the state corrects itself automatically.
■ When performing a Failover or Move operation, if you do not specify reverse protection.
■ An Org vDC network is removed from the recovery site that has a VPG replicating to it.
