I see the same question for array based replication but, I wasn't to sure if the same error or potential fix applies to vSphere replication.
I get this error when trying to do a initiated planned migration and I am not sure how to fix this error. I have heard of changing the default timeout value is 300 seconds to 600, 1200, 2000 (2000 is the max) to see if the operation completes successfully. I am not sure where to find these setting at? I am using vSphere Replication with HP P4000 SANs or StoreVirtual. Thanks for any help on the matter!
