    • RE: CBR start operation is blocked

      Hello. Thank you for your input. I am aware, that this is more of a warning message, than a error. I´m just trying to figure out, what is my best way to go here.
      My plan was:

      • Setup a repljob for the vm in a lets say hourly interval
      • On the day of the migration, shutdown the vm and start the last replication manually
      • Disable the cr job
      • Start the replicated vm on the new pool, check it and if all is ok, use it as new vm, otherwise start the old vm.

      The documentation says "If you want to start a VM on your destination host without breaking the CR jobs". Tbh i dont care about breaking the job. If everything works fine, i dont need it anymore, if not, i can setup a new job pretty fast. I was just wondering, if the new vm will stay in "blocked mode" for ever.

      Kind regards

    • CBR start operation is blocked

      Hi guys.
      I am currently testing Continuous Replication as our way, to migrate our vms from one pool, to another. So i set up a test vm and a replication job on the same pool (different sr), since i dont have the new pool yet. Everything worked fine, job is running and creating the replicated vm. But when i want to start the vm, i will get the warning "Forbidden operation Start operation for this vm is blocked." I could klick "force start" but i am afraid, the universe will dissolve. So what is the best practice for my task? Do i have to recreate the vms and attach the cr disks, or is there a way to unblock the cr vm and use it as the new vm? I will have to migrate about 30 vms with 15TB so i obviously dont want to clone the cr vm to a new one. Or do i?

      Kind regards
