Issue/Introduction
Symptoms: You may encounter recovery point objective (RPO) violations even if vSphere Replication is running successfully at the recovery site.
Cause
RPO violations might occur for one of the following reasons:
Network connectivity problems between source ESXi hosts and vSphere Replication servers at the target site.
As a result of changing the IP address, the vSphere Replication server has a different IP address.
The vSphere Replication server cannot access the target virtual machine file system (VMFS) datastore.
Slow bandwidth between the source ESXi hosts and the vSphere Replication servers.
Resolution
To resolve this issue:
Search the /var/log/vmkernel.log at the source ESXi host for the vSphere Replication server IP address to see any network connectivity problems.
Verify that the vSphere Replication server IP address is the same. If it is different, reconfigure all the replications so that the source ESXi hosts use the new IP address.
Check /var/log/vmware/hbrsrv.log on the vSphere Replication appliance at the target site for problems with the server accessing a target VMFS datastore. You see entries similar to these entries, matching the RPO violation times on the affected virtual machines:
