We have a Process server that is drastically low on space due to excessive daily churn that ASR can't keep up with. What would the proper process for fixing this issue. We have two SQL servers with heavy daily churn rates that we'd like to exclude high-churn disks from ASR replication to help remedy the issue. Would the steps be...

  1. remove replication of these two servers
  2. clear queued replication data on process server (or will this clear itself if replication is stopped?)
  3. replicate servers again with high-churn disks excluded from replication Thanks

    Please find the guidance to switch loads between process server at https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/vmware-azure-manage-process-server#move-vms-to-balance-the-process-server-load. You can move the high churning VMs to a new process server without disabling & enabling the replication.

    You can also choose to disable replication from portal, then enable replication by excluding high churn disks.
