    Hello Machindra Shelar

    It looks like you're facing an issue with your VM's replication state showing as critical in the Azure portal. This can happen for several reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. Check the Replication Health Error:
      • Navigate to the Azure portal and go to your VM's replication pane.
        User's image
    2. Extensions:
      • Check if there are any failed extensions installed on your VM.
      • Go to Virtual machines in the Azure portal, click on your VM, then check Extensions in the settings.
      • If you find any extensions in a failed state, consider uninstalling them and retrying the replication.
    3. Ongoing Operations:
      • If the VM's provisioning state shows as Updating, check if any ongoing operations are occurring on the VM. Wait for these to complete before attempting to enable replication again.

    If you're still having trouble, could you provide more details?

    • What specific error messages are you seeing in the replication error details?
    • Have there been any recent changes to the VM or its configuration?
    • Are there other VMs experiencing similar issues, or is it isolated to this one?
    • What region is your VM deployed in, and how is it set up for replication (e.g., Azure-to-Azure, Hyper-V to Azure, etc.)?
