What to do next
Note If a vSphere Replication appliance is deleted before all replications that it manages are stopped,
target datastores remain tagged with the com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks tag. If a target datastore that is
tagged with com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks is part of a datastore cluster where Storage DRS is enabled,
some operations, like Enter maintenance mode, might not succeed when the vSphere Replication
Management server is missing. To prevent errors, you must remove the tags from all target datastores
that were used for replications by the deleted vSphere Replication appliance. See Search and Remove
the vSphere Replication Tag from Target Datastores.
Search and Remove the vSphere Replication Tag from Target
Datastores
If a vSphere Replication appliance is deleted before all replications that it manages are stopped, target
datastores remain tagged with the com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks tag.
If a target datastore that is tagged with com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks is part of a datastore cluster where
Storage DRS is enabled, some operations, like Enter maintenance mode, might not succeed when the
vSphere Replication Management server is missing.
Prerequisites
n
The vSphere Replication appliance is deleted.
n
Required privilege: Inventory Service.vSphere Tagging.Assign or Unassign vSphere Tag on the
root vCenter Server instance.
Procedure
1 Use the vSphere Web Client to log in to the target vCenter Server.
2 In the search text box on the upper right, enter com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks and search for the tag.
The list of users and groups that have permissions to manage the com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks tag
appears.
3 Click the Related Objects tab.
The list of datastores that have the com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks tag assigned appears.
4 Right-click a datastore and select Tags > Remove Tag.
5 In the Remove Tag dialog box, select the row that contains com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks and click
Remove.
6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all datastores that are assigned the com.vmware.vr.HasVrDisks tag.
