Couldn't create surrogate '{lSurrogateName}' on VM Manager '{aTemplate.RelatedVMManager.Name}' and the 'Rep' checkbox was unchecked in the template 'Datacenter replicas' list: {lExceptionMessage} 

A template surrogate couldn’t be created in the specified VM Manager because of an error, indicated at the end of the message. The template surrogate will appear in red in the “Datacenter replicas” tab in the template detail view, with the “Rep” (Replicated or copied) checkbox unchecked to indicate that the surrogate couldn’t be created.


The surrogate creation operation might leave a corrupted surrogate, that is attempted to delete when this error occurs. If the deletion also fails, the error FLXERR00024 will be raised.


This could indicate an incorrect configuration, a transient problem, or a bug in the VM Manager. An administrator troubleshooting or manual delete of the affected surrogate is advised.
