DPM Administrator Console is manual replica creation pending. If a replica recovery fails, the
replica status changes to inconsistent, which prevents repeated recovery attempts.
If a replica recovery fails, you must stop protection of the data source using the delete replica
option, add the data source to a protection group again using the manual replica creation option,
and then retry the replica recovery.
If the recovery fails, simply retrying the recovery will always fail, because the replica is now
marked invalid and not in a waiting manual load state.
To recover replicas after the DPM database is recovered
1. Run DpmSync -reallocateReplica. This command reformats any replicas that are
missing and marks them as "manual replica creation pending." For instructions,
see
2. Manually create the replica from either the secondary DPM server or a tape backup of
the data source corresponding to each of the replicas.
• When using a secondary DPM server, a Restore to replica option is enabled in
the Recovery task area.
• When using tape backups, use DPM Management Shell with the RestoreToReplica
option.
3. Perform a consistency check to continue protection.
