Environment

VMware Live Site Recovery

Cause

It could happen after a protected vm is unregistered/deleted from vCenter Server.

You might see below line in vpxd.log.

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.###+TZ info vpxd[06858] [Originator@6876 sub=vpxLro opID=50d21e6f] [VpxLRO] -- BEGIN task-477296 -- vm-##### -- vim.VirtualMachine.unregister -- 5284fad2-97a9-582a-3e1c-35c18472bb08(52cc5f4c-6f5b-07b0-3859-3fa7e9eb7f39)

Resolution

It's more like an operational error rather than product misbehavior. We'd recommend investigating why the vm is unregistered/deleted from operational perspective.
