Set-VBRViReplicaJob : Broker service has not started hierarchy collection for host

Hi All,

I recently migrated some replicated VM’s on our VMWare infrastructure to a new DVSwitch and updated VLAN names, so I had to update all the Veeam replication jobs, when i tried to automate this using the Veeam powershell library I got the following error on 95% of the jobs.

I did a little investigation but didnt manage to figure out what the difference was between all the failed jobs and the 3 that successfully updated. Has anyone ever seen this error message before ?

Set-VBRViReplicaJob : Broker service has not started hierarchy collection for host xxxxx

Here is a simplified version of the script i was using:

# get all replication jobs
$jobs = Get-VBRJob | Where-Object TypeToString -eq "VMware Replication"

foreach ($job in $jobs) {
    $jobOptions = Get-VBRJobOptions -Job $job

    # get list of network objects on new target dvswitch
    $destSwitchNets = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server "<server with new dv switch>" | Where-Object SwitchName -eq "NEW SWITCH"

    # build array of source and destination network objects
    $srcNetworks = @()
    $destNetworks = @()

    foreach($net in $jobOptions.ViNetworkMappingOptions.NetworkMapping){
        $srcNetworks += $net.SourceNetwork
        $destNetworks += $destSwitchNets | Where-Object NetworkName -eq $net.TargetNetwork.NetworkName
    }

    # update job with new network mappings
    "'$($job.Name)' remapping $($jobOptions.ViNetworkMappingOptions.NetworkMapping.TargetNetwork.NetworkName) -> $destNetworks"
    Set-VBRViReplicaJob -Job $job -EnableNetworkMapping -SourceNetwork $srcNetworks -TargetNetwork $destNetworks
}

Thanks for any help that can be provided.
