Replication is already enabled
During operation of vSphere Replication, you come across this message:
“The vSphere Replication configuration of the virtual machine has an issue: Replication is already enabled.”
What does this mean? How do I fix it? Why did this happen to me?????
Well, the answers are really simple, someone screwed up in one way or another, I have seen it happen when a VM configuration was changed incorrectly, to a botched SRM/VR upgrade.
In any case, the end result is that the VM is marked as being replicated inside ESX, and ESX is pointing to a VR instance that does not have the same information as ESX, we need to break this.
</note important> This process will have to be done on each ESX host, for each VM that is having that issue, this is because the settings we are changing are per VM/ESX, get ready for a lot of typing. </note>
