@Vinuth gowda R This is a generic error code 0x80004005, which often signifies an unspecified error.

Check that your Hyper-V hosts and VMs meet all requirements and prerequisites.

If Hyper-V servers are located in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) clouds, verify that you've prepared the VMM server.

Ensure that the following services are running on the Hyper-V host:

Virtual Machine Management service

Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent service

Microsoft Azure Site Recovery service

WMI Provider Host service

On the guest VM, ensure that the latest version of Integration Services is running.

Check that you have the latest version.

Keep Integration Services up-to-date.

Ensure that your Hyper-V host can communicate with Azure. Verify that the necessary ports are open and that there's no firewall blocking the connection. If you are using a proxy server, ensure that it is configured correctly. Sometimes, bypassing the proxy server for Azure Site Recovery can resolve connectivity issues

Review the Event Viewer logs (Applications and Service Logs - MicrosoftAzureRecoveryServices) on the Hyper-V host server for any specific errors.

For your reference, Azure Site Recovery troubleshooting guide

If the problem persists despite following all troubleshooting steps, you may need to contact Azure Technical Support for further assistance.

Hope this helps!

@Vinuth gowda R Sorry for the delayed response. It sounds like an issue with proxy on your Hyper-V as described here. You should be able to solve it by enabling BypassProxyServer.

currently there is no proxy configured, its directly connecting to Recovery service vault. this server is configured to replicate to azure recovery vault.
