Q: What does the 'VM replication health' health check do?

This health check reports error state if any runtime replication errors occur during ongoing VM replication. It captures a wide range of issues originating from the data path, such as failure in snapshot creation, failed snapshot reporting, or internal replication processing errors (for example, excessive accumulation of unreleased instances).

Q: What does it mean when it is in an error state?

When this health status is in an error state, it indicates replication runtime errors have been detected. Go to the VM list in the protection group to find the latest replication error details.
