Description of problem (please be detailed as possible and provide log snippests): In RDR setup, with a workload consisting of ~20 PVC and Sync schedule of DRPolicy 5m, observed that DRPC and VRG were reporting lastGroupSyncTime: "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z" even after 60+ minutes of application deployment. This appears to be because of few VR having epoch as lastSyncTime. For eg. See the following outputs showing lastGroupSyncTime and lastSyncTime from VRG's yaml output ------------ DRPC status: ...

Is there any workaround available to the best of your knowledge? Rate from 1 - 5 the complexity of the scenario you performed that caused this bug (1 - very simple, 5 - very complex)? 2 Can this issue reproducible? Can this issue reproduce from the UI? If this is a regression, please provide more details to justify this: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure RDR setup 2. Deploy an application containing multiple PVCs/Pods 3. Check VRG status at different intervals Actual results: VRG reports lastGroupSyncTime as epoch instead of actual time. Expected results: VRG should not randomly report lastGroupSyncTime as epoch.
