Standard replica is created unexpectedly after you restart the VMMS service in Windows Server 2012

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have Windows Server 2012-based Hyper-V servers that are running in an environment that has Hyper Replica deployed.
  • You set more than two recovery points. 
  • You restart the VMMS service on a replica server, or you restart the replica server.
  • You wait about 5 minutes until the first time delta is arrived from the primary site.
In this scenario, a standard replica (recovery point) is created unexpectedly. 

Note If the time interval between the latest recovery point and the arrival of the delta is less than 60 minutes, a standard replica should not be created.

↑ Back to the top

Cause

This issue occurs because the VMMS service incorrectly compares the time stamp of the earliest recovery point to the latest delta time stamp. Therefore, the system takes a new snapshot every time the VMMS service is restarted.

File information
The global version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.





Windows Server 2012 file information notes
Important Windows 8 hotfixes and Windows Server 2012 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, only "Windows 8" is listed on the Hotfix Request page. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 8" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.
  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    VersionProductMilestoneService branch
    6.2.920 0.16 xxxWindows Server 2012RTMGDR
    6.2.920 0.20 xxxWindows Server 2012RTMLDR
  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2012" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components.
