Move a Virtual Machine to a New vSphere Replication
Server
After configuring vSphere Replication, you can move replications to other vSphere Replication servers.
You might do this to complete maintenance tasks on existing servers or to balance the load on the
servers if one server becomes overloaded with replications.
Prerequisites
Other than the embedded vSphere Replication server, you must have an additional vSphere Replication
server deployed and registered.
Procedure
1 Select a replication from Outgoing Replications or Incoming Replications.
2 Right-click a replication and select Move to.
3 Select a vSphere Replication server from the list, and click OK.
The newly assigned server is updated in the vSphere Replication server column.
Stop Replicating a Virtual Machine
If you do not need to replicate a virtual machine, you can stop the replication of that virtual machine.
Prerequisites
You have configured replication on a virtual machine that you no longer need to replicate.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Replication Home page, go to the Monitor tab and click Incoming Replications or
Outgoing Replications.
2 Right-click a replication and select Stop.
vSphere Replication asks you if you want to permanently stop the replication for the selected virtual
machine. The hosts and vSphere Replication server used by the replication must be accessible.
Note You can force stop the replication by selecting Force stop replication. If you force stop the
replication from Incoming Replications you must also force stop the corresponding replication from
Outgoing Replications if the source site is available. If you force stop the replication from Outgoing
Replications, you can only recover or force stop the corresponding replication from Incoming
Replications.
3 Click Yes to confirm that you want to stop replicating this virtual machine.
The virtual machine does not replicate to the target site.
