Issue/Introduction

Error on VM under Cleanup or Test

Assuming task 'xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx' failed, because its status did not update in a timely fashion.

Cause

This will be the status for any problem with the Failover where the status is unable to update, possibly due to Failover Task timeout.

1. Select VM from Replications

2. Click All Actions

3. Click Delete

After the replication is deleted it will need to be recreated.

If there was a timeout that occurred consider placing the VM in its own Recovery Group
