Title
Creating/Editing replication tasks fail with Object Reference error -
Description
When creating/editing a replication task, an object reference not set to an instance of an object message is received. In some instances once vRanger is restarted, the task will complete, the next one will fail, etc. -
Cause
It is confirmed to be a product defect. -
Resolution
WORKAROUND:
A work around to this issue is to use the vRanger console to create scripts. An example of a successful script is below:
$vm = Get-InventoryEntity -type VirtualMachine | where {$_.Name -eq '[VMName]'}
$TarHost = Get-InventoryEntity | where {$_.Name -eq '[HostName]'}Add-ReplicationJobTemplate -JobName [TestJob] -JobEntity $vm -TargetHost $TarHost -ReplicateName [VMName_replica] -Type Differential -PrimaryDatastore [DatastoreName]
STATUS:
A change request has been created. CR number: 17054
It will be fixed in a future release. -
