Environment

VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.7.X

Cause

This issue occurs due to the API request used when applying replication settings has a maximum pageSize of 32. If the Destination Organization VDC contains more than 32 networks the excess networks are paginated, and Cloud Director Availability fails to process any pages beyond the first.

Resolution

Broadcom Engineering is aware of this issue.

Workaround

To workaround this issue failover / migrate the replication without powering on the vApp during the failover / migration and assign the correct OVDC network and static IP address in the destination Cloud Director before powering on the vApp.
