Reprotect Fails with a
vSphere Replication
Timeout Error

When you run reprotect on a recovery plan that contains
vSphere Replication
protection groups, the operation times out with an error.
Reprotect operations on recovery plans that contain
vSphere Replication
protection groups fail with the error
Operation timed out: 7200 seconds VR synchronization failed for VRM group <Unavailable>. Operation timed out: 7200 seconds
.
When you run reprotect,
Site Recovery Manager
performs an online sync for the
vSphere Replication
protection group, which might cause the operation to timeout. The default timeout value is 2 hours and corresponds to a working synchronization timeout of 4 hours.
Increase the
vrReplication.synchronizationTimeout
and
vrReplication.reverseReplicationTimeout
timeout values in Advanced Settings. See Change vSphere Replication Settings.
