Protection status is not visible anymore after successfully configuring replication

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

• You're able to configure a new replication in Cloud Director Availability (VCDA) but then you can't find it afterwards.
• When you try to configure a new replication for the same VM you get an error:

 This VM is already protected

Environment

Cloud Director Availability 4.x

Cause

The cause of this issue is that the protection was configured using a system administrator and the organization administrators don't have permissions to see the replication. 

 

Resolution

To make the replications available to organization administrator users follow this steps:

1. Login in vCloud Director Availability as a system administrator,
2. Click Incoming Replications or Outgoing Replications,
3. Select the replications and click
   
   All Actions > Change Owner
   
   
4. In the Change Replication Owner window, select Tenant organization and click Apply.
