Anti-Virus Agent in Firewall Stops Virtual
Machine ReplicationLast Updated March 14, 2025
If a virtual machine contains virus
information, an anti-virus agent in the firewall might detect the virus data and stop the
connection during replication.
When you reconfigure the replication
and start a full sync, the replication stops in the same data block with the
virus information in it unless the virus data has moved on the disk. Clones of
the disk fail, but other virtual machines of the same size and configuration
from the same host replicating to the same destination datastore replicate
successfully.
Remove the virus information from
the replicated guest to avoid replicating virus information.
Make an exception in the anti-virus
rules in the firewall to allow the replication to proceed.
