Recover operation failed while configuration drift on the resiliency group. (33735)

If configuration drift risk is raised on the resiliency group before upgrading to version v4.0, and if you perform recover operation before resolving the configuration drift through edit operation, recover operation fails.

Workaround:

  • If a disk is added, recover operation would fail at start virtual machine step. You may need to edit the virtual machine in vCenter server, remove the missing disk controller and start the virtual machine.

  • If in case disk is removed, recover operation would fail at attach policy step. Delete and recreate the resiliency group.
