5 Click the Pause or Resume icon.
You can pause and resume multiple replications simultaneously only if they are replicated to the same
virtual data center.
6 Confirm the action.
Stop a Replication to Cloud
If you no longer want to replicate a virtual machine to the cloud, you can stop the replication permanently.
When you stop a replication, data is removed from both the local site and the cloud site. Therefore,
stopping a replication requires that both sites are online and connected.
If the cloud site is offline, you can force stop the replication task from the local site. When you force stop a
replication, you remove the replication task only from the local site. The data on the cloud site remains
intact. When the cloud site becomes available, you must delete the replication artifacts from the cloud site
manually or contact your cloud provider.
Note For stopped replications that use replication seeds, the seed vApps are not deleted from the cloud
site.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have enough privileges to manage replications. See Roles and Permissions That Disaster
Recovery to Cloud Requires.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client.
2 On the home page, click Site Recovery and click Open Site Recovery.
3 On the Site Recovery home page, select the site pair to the cloud provider site and click View
Details.
4 Click the Replications tab, click Forward replications, and select the replication you want to stop.
5 Click the Remove icon.
You can stop multiple replication tasks simultaneously only if they are replicated to the same virtual
data center.
6 (Optional) To delete the replication only from the local site, select Force stop replication in the Stop
Replication dialog box.
Note All data that was stored to the cloud during the replication remains on the cloud datastore, and
the replication remains visible on the cloud site. You must manually delete the replication artifacts
from the cloud site or contact your cloud provider to clear them from the cloud site.
7 Click Remove to confirm.
