Issue/Introduction
- When reviewing a replication in VMware Cloud Director Availability, an error similar to the following occurs:
The requested resource was not found - Warnings similar to the following are found in the
replicator.log(/opt/vmware/h4/replicator/log) that reference the replication group ID for the replication:2025-08-27 15:24:54.253 WARN - [########-####-####-####-############] [hbr-poller1] c.v.h.r.m.hbr.HbrGroupCollector : The following replications in our internal state are unknown to hbrsrv: [Hbr.Replica.Group.H4-########-####-####-####-############, ...
Environment
VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.7.3
Cause
The underlying vSphere Replication information is missing from the replicator even though the VMware Cloud Director Availability replicator service believes that it owns the replication. One potential cause for this is a failure to switch a replication from one replicator to another, as can be performed when placing a replicator into maintenance mode. Any errors that occur during the process can prevent the replication from being reconstructed correctly on the new replicator, as in the following example:
2025-08-20 03:49:04.366 WARN - [UI-########-####-####-####-############-####-##] [task-poller-1] c.v.h.m.r.RebalanceReplicationsJob : Destination move failure for replication H4-########-####-####-####-############ to replicator ########-####-####-####-############com.vmware.h4.manager.api.exceptions.FailedToSwitchDestinationReplicatorException: Failed to to switch the destination replicator of replication 'H4-########-####-####-####-############' from '########-####-####-####-############' to '########-####-####-####-############' because of 'Operation aborted due to an unexpected error.'.
Resolution
VMware Cloud Director Availability no longer has adequate information to manage the replication in the underlying infrastructure and this information cannot be reconstructed. In order to remediate this issue, the replication will need to be removed and recreated.
Additional Information
Depending on whether the issue occurs at the source or the destination, VMware Cloud Director Availability may be unable to remove the replication files at the destination, which would require manual removal. Otherwise, the replication configuration on the source virtual machine may not be deleted, which would prevent the creation of the new replication and require manual correction, as in the following articles:
