Troubleshooting: Delete resiliency group operation
While performing the delete resiliency group operation, if the tasks fails at the delete Veritas Replication Set subtask, re-run the delete operation. If it fails again then you can perform the following steps to reclaim the resources.
Perform the following tasks on Replication Gateways on the production and Cloud data center using klish menu:
- Check for participating Veritas Replication Sets.
monitor> datamover repl-sets
- Verify that replication is stopped on the gateway.
monitor> datamover repl-sets
- Abort replication on gateway if replication is not stopped.
manage> datamover operation abort
- Delete the Veritas Replication Sets.
manage> datamover operation delete
Perform the following tasks on the hosts on the production data center
- Verify that the Veritas Replication Sets are deleted.
Linux host:
/opt/VRTSitrptap/bin/vxtapinfo status
Windows host:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSitrptap\cli\vxtapinfo status
- Delete the Veritas Replication Sets if the state is active.
Linux host:
/opt/VRTSitrptap/bin/vxtapaction stop -cg <CG_ID> /opt/VRTSitrptap/bin/vxtapconfigure delcg -cg <CG_ID> -force
Windows host:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSitrptap \cli\vxtapaction stop -cg <CG_ID> C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSitrptap \cli\vxtapconfigure delcg -cg <CG_ID> -force
- Verify that the journal disk is removed from each of the virtual machines on the production data center.
Size of the journal disk is usually 1 GB and naming format is:
[<datastore-name>] <vm-hostname>/drl-<uuid>/ITRPSRDRLDisk.vmdk
Remove the journal disk using vSphere client or Hyper-V UI.
Ensure that the file is deleted.
- For physical machines, you need to unsign the DRL disk:
Linux host:
Get the device name of DRL disk by executing the following command:
/opt/VRTSitrptap/bin/vxtapdrlfind
Execute the following command to unsign DRL disk:
/opt/VRTSitrptap/bin/vxtapdrlsign clear -drl_dev device_name
Where, device_name is the device name of the DRL disk.
Windows host:
Get the device name of DRL disk by executing the following command:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSitrptap\cli\vxtapdrlfind.exe
Execute the following command to unsign DRL disk:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSitrptap\cli\vxtapdrlsign clear -drl_dev device_name
Where, device_name is the device name of the DRL disk.
- Refresh the virtualization server if the resiliency group contains virtual machines.
- Delete the resiliency group using the web console.
Perform the following on cloud virtual machines:
Verify that the migrated cloud virtual machines are terminated and their volumes are deleted, including the Replication block tracking disk.
Note that the naming convention for Replication block tracking disk is
DRLVolume_RaaS_<GUID>whereas for other disks the name starts withresiliency-group-name_virtual-machine-name.Delete any snapshots for cloud volumes.
Detach the cloud volumes from the cloud gateway.
Remove the cloud virtual machines from the cloud IMS.
