VM replication setup fails 0x80070032

Question

Friday, February 27, 2015 9:02 PM

I am attempting to setup replication between two 2012 R2 hosts. When I enable replication I receive an error message:

Hyper-v failed to perform reverse replication

Hyper-v failed to perform reverse replication for 'vm name': The request is not supported, (0x80070032)

I have tried a new replication and replication to a restored replica VM.  I created a small test VM and was able to replicate it fine between the hosts.

I was trying to replicate to a drive with only 16.5 GB free after the restored VM and thought space might be an issue.  I moved the restored VM to a drive with 100 GB free.  I also checked and the source host has 134 GB free on the drive that has the VM.

Any help is appreciated.

I built a new VM and connected the old VHDs to it.  The new VM replicates fine.  Not sure what it was on the old VM but it was unique to that VM.

Hi Mark,

>>Hyper-v failed to perform reverse replication for 'vm name': The request is not supported, (0x80070032)

According to the error , I would like to check if both hyper-v host can resolve the name of each other correctly .

If they are in a domain environment , you may need to check DNS setting .

If they are in workgroup and using certificate authentication ,please compare with following article :

They re in a domain environment, and yes they can resolve each others name.

As I noted, a test VM can be replicated fine.  Only this 1 pre-existing VM will not replicate.  So I assume it is an issue with the VM and not the host.

Hi Sir,

>>Only this 1 pre-existing VM will not replicate

For Using exsiting VM for replication need to cover the requirements:

  • It has to have the same virtual machine ID as that of the primary VM
  • It should have the same disks (and disk properties) as that of the primary VM

Please refer to following article regarding using an existing VM for initial replication :

The replica I am attempting to replicate to is a restored backup of the primary VM so is an exact copy.  Also if I try to replicate without a destination VM created I get the same error.

I am going to build a new VM and attach the VHDs from the current VM to see if that fixes the problem tonight.
