If you use the VAMI solution, you must repeat the steps each time that you change the
vSphere Replication certificate.
Unexpected vSphere Replication Failure Results in a Generic Error
vSphere Replication includes a generic error message in the logs when certain unexpected failures occur.
Problem
Certain unexpected vSphere Replication failures result in the error message VRM Server generic
error. Please check the documentation for any troubleshooting information..
In addition to the generic error, the message provides more detailed information about the problem,
similar to the following examples.
n
VRM Server generic error. Please check the documentation for any troubleshooting
information. The detailed exception is:
'org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to
https://vCenter_Server_address refused'. This error relates to problems connecting to
vCenter Server.
n
Error - VR synchronization failed for VRM group virtual machine name. Sync
monitoring aborted. Please verify replication traffic connectivity between source
host and target VR server. Sync will automatically resume when connectivity
issues are resolved.. This problem relates to a synchronization operation error.
n
Error - Unable to reverse replication for the virtual machine 'virtual machine
name'. VRM Server generic error. Please check the documentation for any
troubleshooting information. The detailed exception is:
'org.hibernate.exception.LockAcquisitionException: Transaction (Process ID 57)
was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the
deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. This problem relates to a deadlock in Microsoft SQL
Server.
Cause
vSphere Replication sends this message when it encounters configuration or infrastructure errors. For
example, network issues, database connection issues, or host overload.
Solution
Check the detailed exception message for information about the problem. Depending on the details
of the message, you can try to retry the failed operation, restart vSphere Replication, or correct the
infrastructure.
