ASR - Error 78038 - The source machine is in a state which couldn't be failed over.

Hello folks. I'm running some tests on ASR to protect vmware vms on azure and I start to face some problems, hope someone could help me.

I was able to run failover and failback on windows, centos 7 and ubuntu servers, but I'm facing some issues with centos 8.

I'm able to do a failover and reprotect it but when I try to failback I'm getting an error:  Error 78038 - The source machine is in a state which couldn't be failed over.

After this error I'm unable to do anything with this replicated item. The recovery points are not showing anymore and any new recovery point wasn't created after that.

Found the problem.
The centos vm was using lvm with separated boot partition.
After create a new centos vm without lvm, I was able to failover and failback without any trouble.
