Problem with VPG in a VM not Protected Status
Viewed 1341 times
Summary
An administrator may notice a VPG that was once healthy is now showing an error regarding the inability to replicate a VM.
Root Cause
The VM referenced in the warning is running on a protected site host that does not have a VRA installed. Therefore, Zerto can no longer replicate that VM.
Symptoms
In the VPGs section of the Zerto GUI, a VPG is in a status of “VM Not Protected.” The following warning may also be seen:
VPG VPGExample includes the following VMs which are no longer protected: VMExample.
The VPG may also have the below alert active as well:
Host {host_IP} has no VRA installed, and is part of cluster {cluster_name} that contains hosts with installed VRAs.
Solution
There are three ways to resolve this issue:
Install a VRA on the host that the VM is currently running on.
In vCenter, vMotion the affected VM to a host with a VRA installed.
If this VM is no longer required to be replicated, remove it from the VPG, or remove the VPG if this is the only VM within the VPG.
