vSphere Replication broken after move of physical servers.

Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

Two physical sites in the same vCenter. One site was physically moved to the same place as the other physical site. In the process IP addresses changed and the sites VM were being replicated with a add-on server, which stopped working with the IP change.

Environment

VLSR (All versions)

Cause

Issue is caused by the host IP's being changed and the vSphere Replication add-on not working properly.

Resolution

Remove the vSphere Replication Add-on Server and stop the replications and retain the seeds.

Recreate the replications and use the seeds already created.
