Introduction
This guide contains a detailed description of all RecoverPoint for VMs events, and describes how to monitor and filter their
appearance. For more information on troubleshooting your specific RecoverPoint for VMs solution, refer to the:
● RecoverPoint for VMs Flex Plugn Administrator's Guide if your VMs are being protected on-premises.
● RecoverPoint for VMs Cloud Solutions Guide if your VMs are being protected on the AWS Cloud.
For advanced event monitoring and troubleshooting options, log into the RecoverPoint for VMs Command Line Interface
(CLI) and run the get_events_log command. For more information, see the RecoverPoint for VMs CLI Command Reference
Guide.
Topics:
• Open RecoverPoint for VMs
• Monitor system events
• Monitor system alerts
• Monitor system limits
• Monitor system components
• The RecoverPoint for VMs Dashboard
• Monitor group and copy protection
Steps
1. Connect to a vCenter Server hosting RecoverPoint for VMs components.
2. Click LAUNCH VSPHERE CLIENT (HTML5). You can also launch the vSphere Client (HTML5) directly by entering
https://vCenter-IP or FQDN:/ui/ into your address bar. The HTML5 plugin supports vSphere 6.7 U1 and later
versions. In vSphere 7.0 U2 or later, it is recommended to use RecoverPoint for VMs 5.3 SP2 or later.
Best practice is to LAUNCH VSPHERE CLIENT (HTML5) as your primary client, and only use the vSphere FLEX plugin if
you are using a vSphere version prior to 6.5 U1, or if you need a feature that is not currently supported through the vSphere
HTML5 plugin of your RecoverPoint for VMs version. See the RecoverPoint for VMs Flex Plugin Administrator's Guide for
more information.
Introduction 7
In RecoverPoint for VMs 5.3 SP2 and later versions, when running a vSphere version that supports FLEX, only use the
vSphere FLEX plugin to:
● protect VMs with a copy in the Amazon cloud.
● enable pre-emptive support services.
● display recovery activity reports.
● display performance statistics for consistency groups and vRPA clusters.
● protect VMs with more than one local copy and two remote copies.
● select an existing copy VM when adding a VM to an existing consistency group.
In RecoverPoint for VMs versions prior to 5.3 SP2, when running a vSphere version that supports FLEX, also use the
vSphere FLEX plugin to monitor system health, components, limits, events, usage, and capacity.
NOTE: On vSphere versions that do not support FLEX, you can only perform these tasks through the RecoverPoint for
VMs RESTful API at https://developer.dell.com/apis.
In all other cases, click LAUNCH VSPHERE CLIENT (HTML5) to display the RecoverPoint for VMs vSphere HTML5
plugin.

Monitor group and copy protection
Monitor the status of replication for consistency groups and copies, when managing or troubleshooting your system.
Steps
1. Select Protection > Consistency Groups.
2. Expand a group.
3. Note the Transfer Status (1) and State (2) of each consistency group and the Status (3) of each copy.
Results
● The Transfer Status (1) of a consistency group can be:
○ Active: Data is being transferred to a copy.
○ Initializing: A copy is being initialized: volume sweep, short init, or full sweep.
○ High Load: The system enters a temporary high-load state while data is being transferred to a copy, when the journal is
full and cannot accept new writes. The system attempts to resolve the high-load state without user action.
○ Paused by System: System paused replication so data is not being transferred. If this state occurs for long periods of
time, check the system alerts and events in the Dashboard for more information.
○ Error: An error has occurred.
○ Permanent High Load: The system enters a permanent high-load state while data is being transferred to a copy. A
permanent high-load can occur after a temporary high-load. The system pauses replication and waits for user action.
○ Paused: User paused replication so data is not being transferred to a copy.
○ Disabled: User disabled a copy so data is not being transferred.
● The State (2) of a consistency group can be:
○ Enabled: A group is enabled for replication.
○ Failed over: A multi-copy group has completed temporary failover.
○ Being recovered: A group is in the process of recovering production.
○ Partially suspended: Some of a group's copies have been momentarily suspended while being upgraded.
○ Suspended: All of a group's copies have been momentarily suspended while being upgraded.
○ Disabled: A group is disabled for replication.
● The Status (3) of a copy can be:
○ OK: Data can be transferred to the copy.
○ Initializing: A copy is being initialized: volume sweep, short init, or full sweep.
○ High Load: A copy enters a temporary high-load state while data is being transferred to the copy, when the journal is full
and cannot accept new writes. The system attempts to resolve the high-load state for the copy without user action.
○ Paused by System: System paused replication so data is not being transferred to a copy. If this state occurs for long
periods of time, check the system alerts and events in the Dashboard for more information.
○ Error: An error has occurred on the copy.
○ Permanent High Load: A copy enters a permanent high-load state while data is being transferred to the copy. A
permanent high-load can occur after a temporary high-load. The system pauses replication to the copy and waits for user
action.
○ Paused: User paused replication so data is not being transferred to a copy.
○ Disabled: User disabled a copy so data is not being transferred.

If you do not wish to retain the writes that were
added to the copy image while image access was
enabled, disable image access; the relevant writes
are automatically undone. Alternatively, use the
undo writes command to undo the same writes;
image access remains enabled.
If, however, you wish to retain the writes that
were added to the copy image while image access
has been enabled, you can do one of the following:
● Increase the size of the copy journal by adding
one or more volumes to the journal.
● Fail over to the copy. Note: The copy journal is
erased.
● Set the image access mode to direct access.
Note: The copy journal is erased, and a full
sweep synchronization will be required to
restore consistency between the production
and copy images.
To help prevent this problem from recurring,
increase the size of your image access log, using
one or both of the following:
● Add volumes to the journal.

verify that the current value is indeed required.
If the maximum journal lag value has not been
defined or the current journal lag is lower than
the maximum journal lag value, this is probably a
journal space or performance issue.
In this case, enlarge your journal or increase the
speed of the journal by placing it in a faster array,
on faster media, or any other procedure that can
increase the journal write-rate.

4090 Group Warning Image access log 80% full Image access is enabled to a non-production copy. The capacity
of the copy journal’s image access log has nearly been reached;
only limited further information can be written to it.
If the log becomes completely full, the system will block access
by host applications to the replication volumes that belong to
that group (and the application will receive I/O errors). When
the system is in this state, it is recommended that immediate
action be taken to prevent the log from becoming 100% full.
If you do not wish to retain the writes that were added
to the copy image while image access was enabled, disable
image access; the relevant writes are automatically undone.
Alternatively, use the undo writes command to undo the same
writes; image access remains enabled.
If, however, you wish to retain the writes that were added to
the copy image while image access has been enabled, you can do
one of the following:
● Increase the size of the copy journal by adding one or more
volumes to the journal.
● Fail over to the copy. Note: The copy journal is erased.
● Set the image access mode to direct access. Note: The copy
journal is erased, and a full sweep synchronization will be
required to restore consistency between the production and
copy images.
To help prevent this problem from recurring, increase the size of
your image access log, using one or both of the following:
● Add volumes to the journal.
● Modify the policy setting for the portion of the journal
allocated to the image access log. This is permitted only
when image access is disabled.

operation exited the high load state, and has returned to normal operation.
The following are among the possible causes of the high load:
● vRPA is unable to handle the large volume of incoming data.
vRPA performance statistics are presented in the Release
Notes that accompany each RecoverPoint for VMs product
release.
● Journal reaches capacity, because the rate of the distribution
process consistently lags behind the rate of incoming data to
the copy journal.
● WAN is too slow to handle the data rate.
● Compression for WAN optimization is too high, such that the
vRPA is unable to handle the volume of incoming data.
● Peak I/O activity in the SAN causes a temporary bottleneck
in the environment. This can be considered normal behavior,
and does not necessarily require user action.
If high load persists, consider:
● Running the balance_load command and applying the
load balancing recommendation.
● Manually modifying the preferred vRPA of each group.
● Checking for scheduled activities in your environment.
● Enabling fast first-time initialization.
