Issue

This is an example of replication being cancelled for a protected VM.

Cause

This issue can occur if a snapshot revert happens on a protected VM.

Reverting to a snapshot of a protected VM will result in protection being cancelled. This condition is indicated in the user interface, as illustrated:

• The storage policy will not be automatically detached, requiring the user to manually delete old snapshots and remove the cancelled protection (which can be done through the user interface).

• If a snapshot already exists, it will not be possible to “un-protect” the VM.

• In such case, it will be necessary to:
  1) Manually delete the old snapshot.
  2) Un-protect the VM.
  3) Re-protect the VM.
