Issue
The following alert message may be displayed if adequate space is not available in the replication log volume.
Details of a Replication Log Volume
- Each protected domain uses a single replication log for all the VMs belonging to it.
- The replication log volume consists of multiple sections (described below):
Replication Log Section
- Keeps a record of data being replicated to the object store.
- I/O coming into the DRVA is written to the object store.
- If there is a network bottleneck the I/O will get written to the replication log.
(It acts as a temporary placeholder.)
Metadata Section
- Contains metadata of the VMs including garage collection (DB).
Free Space Section
- When metadata becomes full, if there is available free space in the replication log volume, the management server will automatically re-assign some of the free space to metadata.
Example
If the replication log has been over provisioned, the replication log section can be resized to release free space on the replication log volume (RLV).
