Replacement DVR can't see recordings on other DVR.. The other DVR can however see and watch recordings from the replacement.
The following message comes up:
"The package on this VMS does not support access from other devices. Please go to 'Configure and Upgrade' and upgrade your Verizon DVR service."

You could try this on the two DVRs, but I'm not sure if it will erase your recordings:
Main Menu > DVR > Configure & Upgrade>Refresh Device
That doesn't seem to really do anything.
Chatted with Verizon Tech support. They want me to disconnect everything from power for a few minutes (ONT, Router, and Set-top boxes) then connect them again. Waiting to do that since people in the house are currently online, but I have a hard time thinking that would resolve this issue.

By powercycling the system, it resets any glitches that may have occurred, and could clear up your issue. I think you have to call billing and get them to correctly authorize your two boxes, the VMS as a master and the IPC as a slave.
I unplugged the set-top boxes, router, and ONT. After plugging it all back in I still get the same results. The replacement DVR can't view recordings from the other DVR but the DVR that wasn't replaced can still see the replacement one.
Just seems like if it was something on the account it would have been taken care of already since they knew they sent a replacement box.
Every time I contact support it's always restart everything, I understand that fixes some things but it doesn't fix everything and I usually make sure I restart stuff before contacting them, but disconnecting everything is a pain and I have to wait for a good time to do it.
Does it matter that one DVR is a VMS4100 and one is a VMS4100P2?
They have done everything now, they had me change my plan, they wait 20 minutes, unplug the ONT and Router, wait 10 minutes then plug them back in. Now they want to change my router.
This is getting ridiculous.
And another unplug of ONT, Router, DVR for 5 minutes, still same message!😡
Really losing my patience now.
Now it requires a tech. This is just stupid.

This is an issue going from VMS to VMS though, I haven't even messed with the IPC's as they are both still disconnected.
After 10 unplugs of everything and multiple I changed somethings on your account now they want to send a tech out.
I plugged both client (IPC)'s back up and one is connected to each DVR and they can both see the recordings on the replacement DVR and the one that was here, so it is still just a DVR to DVR issue, seems like it would be something on the account, but tech support claims to have reconfigured the dvr settings on my account, but still no go.
Not sure what a tech is going to do.
Tech visit was scheduled for 2-4 today, he called at 1 to ask if he could come early, he was 8 minutes out.
Early is always better, I think it took me longer to explain the issue than it took for him to fix it.
He did what i think he called a code init which looked similar to what it did when I first hooked it up except for some downloading and installing of some stuff, then it saw the other DVR just fine.
