Replication jobs failing if Lockdown Mode is enabled on host
Description

Replication jobs failing if Lockdown Mode is enabled on host
Cause

Lockdown Mode is not supported with vRanger since it requires direct interaction with the host.When Lockdown Mode is enabled on the host, all direct remote access to the host is blocked, including any vSphere API client, e.g. vSphere Client, vCLI, and PowerCLI, and Tech Support Mode, both local and remote.
Resolution

Disable Lockdown Mode on host that you want to use with vRanger.
