Environment
VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.7.x
Cause
Large VMs consisting of multiple disks can take a long time to merge their associated hbrdisks with parent disks. This consolidation process takes a long time to complete causing operation timed out errors.
Resolution
Give sometime for the consolidation process to complete and then run the Recovery Plan again, it must succeed. You can monitor the target vSphere Replication appliances' hbrsrv.log to find out when the consolidation task completes.
Edit replication task after consolidation finish.
