Hi Clarence Ruzane,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

The document mentions troubleshooting steps. Please let me know if you have tried the methods below.

VM provisioning state isn't valid (error code 150019)

To enable replication on the VM, its provisioning state must be Succeeded. Perform the following steps to check the provisioning state:

1. In the Azure portal, select the Resource Explorer from All Services.
2. Expand the Subscriptions list and select your subscription.
3. Expand the ResourceGroups list and select the resource group of the VM.
4. Expand the Resources list and select your VM.
5. Check the provisioningState field in the instance view on the right side.

Fix the problem

• If the provisioningState is Failed, contact support with details to troubleshoot.
• If the provisioningState is Updating, another extension might be being deployed. Check whether there are any ongoing operations on the VM, wait for them to finish, and then retry the failed Site Recovery job to enable replication.
