When you run a recovery (or test recovery) in Site Recovery Manager with ActiveDR, a warning will appear in the report similar to below:

Warning:

Expected consistency group '4eca7aff-f044-58a9-6dc7-f084e14d776c' not found in SRA's 'queryReplicationSettings' response.

While this error is innocuous it can be concerning to see. This is due to an SRA feature called queryReplicationSettings not being implemented for ActiveDR operations. ActiveDR leverages the SRM feature for consistency groups to ensure that all volumes in the same pod are grouped. During a recovery operation SRM issues queryReplicationSettings and expects to see consistency groups returned. Since the API is rejected the failure turns into the warning above as SRM did not find the consistency group which is not the underlying problem but the consequence of not responding to this API. Since this is not a critical error, a warning is thrown by SRM which does not terminate the plan operation.

Support for this API will be added in an upcoming release of the SRA so that this warning does not appear.
