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 shown below:
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:
Manually delete the old snapshot.
Un-protect the VM.
Re-protect the VM.
The VM should now be able to resume protection.
