Hi All,
My environment is vSphere 6 with 2x VDP Appliances (one for local backup and one as a replication target for a offsite NAS)
Disk Structure:
VDP (local): VDP.vmdk -> On local SAN
6x backup storage -> NFS-Onsite NAS
VDP-RT (offsite): VDP-RT -> On local SAN
6x backup storage -> NFS-Offiste NAS (roughly 25-30ms latency)
I configured both appliances onsite and replicate (roughly 1.3TB). I then shutdown and remove the replication target from inventory. Dismount the NFS datastore. Move the NAS offsite. Re-mount the datastore, add VDP-RT to inventory .. reconfigured the disks for the VDP-RT and try to boot and it the appliance hangs and this pointin the startup sequence.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
I have left it for approx 12 hours with no change.
If i try to re-create the appliance and attach the existing VDP storage to the new appliance the new appliance will get through most of the configuration except hang at VDP: Configuring Import Storage task (stuck at 52%) for still over 12 hours.
I have gone through this process 2-3 times now and am still running into the same issue.
Am i missing something? Surely it cannot be thus hard to move my replication target storage offsite.
Kind Regards
Arun
