Table 6‑2. Recovery States (Continued)
State Description
Incomplete recovery Canceled recovery or datastore error. Run recovery again.
You need to either resolve errors and rerun recovery, or
remove protection for VMs in error. The plan detects the
resolution of errors in either of these ways and updates
state to Recovery Complete.
Partial recovery Some but not all protection groups are recovered by an
overlapping plan.
Recovery interrupted A failure during recovery causes the recovery to pause.
Click Recovery to continue. You cannot change recovery
options.
Cancel in progress Canceling a test results in Test Complete with last result
canceled.
Canceling a recovery results in Incomplete Recovery with
last result canceled.
If the operation is canceled early enough, may result in a
Ready state.
Reprotect in progress If the server fails during this state, it goes to Reprotect
Interrupted.
Partial reprotect Overlapping plan was reprotected.
The already reprotected groups go to Ready state, but this
is valid, since the other groups are in the Recovered state.
Incomplete reprotect Reprotect did not complete the storage operations. Sites
must be connected for the reportect to succeed on the new
run.
Incomplete reprotect (2) Reprotect completed the storage operations but did not
complete creating shadow virtual machines. You can run
reprotect again even if the site running the virtual
machines is disconnected, then proceed to recovery
immediately after.
Reprotect interrupted If the Site Recovery Manager Server fails during reprotect,
run reprotect again to continue and properly clean up the
state.
Waiting for user input during test Test is paused. Dismiss the prompt to resume the test.
Waiting for user input during recovery Recovery is paused. Dismiss the prompt to resume
recovery.
Protection groups in use Plan contains groups that are being used for a test by
another plan. This state also occurs when the other plan
has completed a Test operation on the groups, but has not
run Cleanup.
Wait for the other plan to complete the test or cleanup or
edit the plan to remove the groups.
Direction error Groups are in a mixed state, which is an invalid state. Some
groups are Ready in both directions: a site is protected and
a site is recovered within a particular group. Remove some
protection groups.
For this error to occur, overlapping plans have run and
reprotected all the groups in the plan already.
Deleting Plan enters this brief state while waiting for deletion of a
peer plan. Plan automatically completes when the other
plan is deleted.
