Hello all,
We have two Server 2012's with Hyper V running on both. Each server is functioning as a replica for certain servers on each server. This works well. I am monitoring Hyper-V replication using the Get-VMReplication Cmdlet.
Each servers runs a full Windows Server Backup during the night.
The problem I am having is when this backup is running replication is failing, when the backup is finished replication continues as normal. This unfortunately trips the above 20% threshold for a "Warning" on replication health so I am finding it
difficult to monitor.
The errors I get during the backup:
Event ID 32546. Error. 'TS2008' failed to perform the operation. The operation cannot be performed for this virtual machine while it is in its current state. (Virtual machine ID 85AB616E-4080-43D2-8ABF-AE6171FCE08E)
Event ID 32315. Warning. Hyper-V failed to replicate changes for virtual machine 'TS2008' (Virtual Machine ID 85AB616E-4080-43D2-8ABF-AE6171FCE08E). Hyper-V will retry replication after 5 minute(s).
These repeat periodically every 5 minutes (so on each replication through the backup).
Any ideas how I can mitigate this or what the proper procedure is to backup this and keep replication working?
