Virtual standby to ESXi 6 host failed -

I recently moved from using the agent to an agentless deployment (yep, archived all my old recovery points first!), and have run into a few hiccups on the way.  The initial backups all work well, replication works well, but the virtual standby's that I'm creating have been running into odd errors.  Anyone else see this?

 

Anyone else run into this?  A google of the error doesn't return much of anything.  The Core's subsequent attempt to export was very odd.  Originally it only attempted to export the 9GB of changed data, which surprised me, given the failure on the initial export, but then when the status got to 8.2/9GB, then it changed to 8.8/9.6, and kept rising until it got to 18.83/19.82GB at which time I got the "post-processing" message, which ultimately resulted in the same error messages.

Here's the stack trace from the original error:

  • Yes remove everything from everywhere and start completely over.

    I only use Vbox on Linux and HyperV on 2012r2 so I'm not sure how ESXi works. In my instance the VM would still spin up but apparently the drives became corrupt once the exports started failing. I first tried just deleting the vhd's but the exports continued to fail.

    Once I deleted the machine from the host, manually removed all the config files and removed the export process from the core (essentially starting completely over) it again worked.

    I understand this could be a huge hassle for a large VM so its probably a last resort but I thought it may help.
