Issue

Replication is paused for one or more of the virtual machines. While the primary virtual machine is paused, any changes that occur will be accumulated and will be sent to the Replica virtual machine once replication is resumed.

Impact

As long as replication is paused, accumulated changes occurring in the primary virtual machine will consume available disk space on the primary server. After replication is resumed, there might be a large burst of network traffic to the Replica server. This impacts the following virtual machines:

Resolution

Confirm that pausing replication was intended. If replication was paused to address low disk space or network connectivity, resume replication as soon as those issues are resolved.
