Replication Reverse

Replication Reverse

This request executes reverse operation for the specified VM replication. The reversed VM replication must be recovered by using a failover or a planned migration. The disks of the source VM are used as seeds. Then the original source VM is removed.

The result of this API call is a task which must be polled by using the respective APIs for task polling. If the task succeeds, then the result can be obtained from the result field. If the task fails, there is no result. The failure reason is in the error field.
