After pre-seeding virtual machine for repliction, job looks to be hung at rehashing disks with no other progress.
Depending on the size of the VM this step can take a long time. Once the rehashing of disks is complete the actuall transfer of data will start and you will see throughput.
To verify that job is still running and not hung when running ESX console based replications:
1. Putty into target ESX host
2. Navigate to the replica's directory (cd /vmfs/voulmes/data store/VM directory
3. Run watch command (watch -d 'ls -lah')
Make sure that the vzmap file/files are present and still growing. Fro each disk of a VM there will be a corresponding vzmap file.
NOTE-If running replication of multiple disk VM to multiple target datastores you may need to check other disk dir to see vzmap files growing.
To verify that job is still running and not hung when running virtual appliance (AV) based replications:
1. Putty into target VA
2. navigate to the scratch disk ( cd ../scratch/sdb)
3. List contents fo scratch disk directory (ls -lah)
4. Find UUID for replica and navigate into that dir. You can get this from the preseed feild in the job config wizzard or from the running taks log from vRanger.
5. run watch command (watch -d 'ls -lah')
Make sure that the vzmap file/files are present and still growing. For each disk of a VM there will be a corresponding vzmap file.
