Error: “The Target site doesn’t have permissions to replicate into the source Datastore (datastore_name)” when Creating a VPG
Viewed 322 times
Summary
An administrator may receive an error when trying to create/edit a VPG replicating to a VCD site.
Root Cause
There are two reasons why this error is thrown:
The datastore is not in the ZORG where this VPG is being created.
The Storage Profile is not correctly mapped to include this datastore.
Symptoms
The below error s thrown as part of a create/edit VPG task:
The Target site doesn't have permissions to replicate into the source Datastore (datastore_name). This permission is required now in order to enable seamless failback. Either move the VM to a masks resource or mask the source Datastore. 'datastore_name' to the target site.
Solution
To workaround this issue, perform the steps below:
Ensure the datastore in question has been added to the ZORG where the VPG is being created/edited.
Ensure the datastore is in the Storage Profile being selected for use in this VPG.
Once both are confirmed/adjusted, attempt the operation once more.
