In the vSphere Web Client, you can check the status of replication tasks for a vCenter Server. The list of
outgoing replications is located on the vSphere Replication tab under Monitoring.
Table 8‑1. Replication Statuses
Status Description Possible Cause Solution
Not Active The replication is not running at the

The source virtual
machine is powered
off.
n
A communication
problem might
have occurred
between the source
ESXi host and the
target site.
n
Power on the source
virtual machine.
n
If all replications for
an ESXi host are in
Not Active state,
verify that the
security rule
Replication-to-Cloud
Traffic is enabled on
the host. This rule
opens TCP ports
10000 to 10010 for
outgoing
communication.
Paused The replication is not running at the
moment.
A vSphere Replication
user has paused the
replication.
In the list of replications,
right-click the paused
replication and select
