H.12 Replication Cannot Complete If an Anti-Virus Update Is Pending a Restart on the Source

Issue: Automatic updates for anti-virus software on Windows source workloads sometimes have pending system changes that require a restart. While the required restart is pending, any replication seems to get stuck and cannot complete.

Workaround: To prevent this potential replication conflict, ensure that you restart the source Windows workload after an anti-virus automatic update occurs that requires a restart. Perform the restart before the next replication begins.

To gracefully resolve this conflict for an in-progress replication:

  1. Abort the replication by using the Migrate Client or Migrate Web Interface, as appropriate.

  2. Reboot the source Windows workload.

  3. In Migrate Client or Migrate Web Interface, initiate the replication again.

    The replication should complete successfully.
