Cron Based Replication vs New Policy Based Replication (7.0.1)
I recently upgraded from Avamar 6 to Avamar 7. I have suspended cron based replication in favor of the new policy based replication in 7.0.1. I notice that when I log into EMC Avamar Enterprise Manager that replication is reported as failed. Is this because this interface is linked to cron based replication only? If I go look at my replication jobs run by the policy based replication they are all completing successfully. Also, is there a way for me to setup an alert (email) on the policy based replication if it fails?

This is a known issue in EMS. The way to work around this is to log into the system over SSH as the admin user and run the following commands (where YYYYMMDD is today's date):
Note that this will restart the EMS and MCS on the server. Restarting MCS will clear the activity monitor.
Once the steps above have been completed, the red X should disappear. There is an RFE open to handle this better in future versions of the software.

There should be new event codes for plug-in based replication in the profile configuration section of the Avamar Administrator GUI. I'll come back to this later with more specific instructions if I have time.

Renaming the x-repl_cron.cfg and restarting EMS and MCS did remove the red X. Thanks.
Now is there a way for me to setup policy based replication failure email notifications?
