Error message when using COS transport for replication: The virtual appliance <VA Name> has (4045748)

When there is a Virtual Appliance deployed for LINUX FLR purposes and it happens to reside on either the Source or Target ESX host of a COS (ESX Service Console) mode replication job you receive the above error.

The job shows transport mode of COS and checking Tools>Options>My Jobs>Protocol Failover reveals that COS mode is the only option checked.

Two possable resolutions:

1) vMotion the Virtual Appliance to a different host and refresh the vRanger Inventory

2) Refresh the vRanger inventory, remove the old replication job, create a new replication job
