Hello community,

I am trying to implement Live Sync Direct between two VMware environments. Both VMware environments contains it's own Vcenter Servers and local storage. Both VMware enivornments have a virtual MediaAgent with VSA agent installed.

I’ve succesfully installed the blr drivers (VAIO) on the ESX hosts. I can configure Live Sync direct without any problems. When replicating the first VM I can see that a virtual machine is created on the target site with DR at the end as it should be. However after a couple of minutes I can see in VMware at the target site that Commvault wants to create the VM again. Because the VM is already there Commvault restarts the whole process again and after 8 minutes the same message appears again. I am using Maintenace Release 26 latest hotfixes.

Any ideas?

That’s really strange.

 

I wonder if you could remove the configuration, delete the VM on the destination and try configure it again?

Hello Damian,

I've already tried that and I get the same error message.
Live sync with snapshots (not Live Sync Direct) works without any problems. I only get this error with Live Sync Direct.

Hello Dan,

This is running in my demolab right now using a NFR key. If it works fine I will implement this at customer sites.
