Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
When you attempt to create a new cloud to on-premises replication in Cloud Director Availability 4.x, the task fails with an error similar to:
Unable to process the request due to bad parameter 'settings.destination.site' -> '<destination site name>'
This issue occurs when one or more of the virtual machines in the source vApp are being replicated to another on-premises site.
Environment
VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.x
Resolution
This is an expected behaviour. It is unsupported to replicate virtual machines within a single vApp to different on-premises sites.
Workaround: If you need to replicate virtual machines within a single vApp to different destination sites, you must first separate the virtual machines into different vApps before configuring them for replication.
