If both sites are online, Disaster Recovery to Cloud applies the following changes.
n
On the local site, removes the replication entry from the list of forward replications, and removes the
replication-related configurations from the source virtual machine.
n
On the cloud site, removes the task from the list of reverse replications, and deletes the replication
data from the storage.
If you perform a force stop operation, the replication task is deleted from the list of forward replications,
and replication-related configurations are removed from the source virtual machine.
Stop a Replication from Cloud
If you no longer want to replicate a virtual machine from the cloud, you can stop the replication
permanently.
When you stop a replication, data is removed from both the local and the cloud site. Therefore, stopping a
replication requires that both the cloud and the local site 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 VMs are not deleted from the local
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 Reverse 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 The replication remains active on the cloud site. Contact your provider to clear the replication
from the cloud site.
