Step 2 Enable protection on a plan or add-on
By default, the plan called TenantPlan
has protection enabled after you onboard to Azure Site Recovery.
If you only have the one TenantPlan, you can skip this step for now.
If you create more plans or add-ons, you need to congure protection. To enable protection on a published plan or add-on:
1 Open the Windows Azure Pack management portal for administrators.
2 Click Plans.
3 On the Plans tab, open the relevant plan or open the add-on on the
Add-Ons tab.
4 In
Plan Services or Add-On Services, click Virtual Machine Clouds.
5 Under
Custom Settings select the Enable protection for all virtual machines check box.
