RP4VM Disconnected Cluster
I started a RP4VM installation where the customer was using RP/SE and SRM. Quickly realized they do not play nice together and I had to tear down the RP/SE with SRM install first. I had removed the MOB com.emc.recoverpoint.vwc and then started the install of RP4VM again. Great everything worked and I could then start protecting the VM's with RP4VM inside vsphere console and everything is good, except that it shows 2 clusters and 1 is disconnected. I was looking through the uninstall guide for RP4VM and it says to remove the MOB CustomFieldsManager for the config.RecoverPoint_TOKEN;XXXXXXXXXXXX. Great that is not hard I can do that, BUT I see 2 of them and there are 2 clusters. One is working and the other is disconnected, so how do I determine if the cluster is working is config.RecoverPoint_TOKEN;XXXXXXXXXXXX or config.RecoverPoint_TOKEN;YYYYYYYYYYYY? I am a little scared that if I remove the wrong one then I will break the installation, but I would like to get the disconnected one out of the system. Does anyone know how I can translate the token back to a specific cluster?

You can find the matching ID as a sub-dir under the repository datastore so this should guide you based on the timestamp fior the repository VMDK within the RPvStorage sub/sub dir.

This is correct, but for anyone else that is in this situation the folder in RPvStorage is the TOKEN, only it is in HEX. You must convert the TOKEN that is in the MOB CustomFieldsManager from Decimal to HEX and then they will match.

FYI - the RPVM cluster ID and names can also retrieved by executing the following admin CLI commands (ssh using user admin to the cluster management IP):
get_internal_cluster_name
get_internal_cluster_uids
