n
For array-based replication and vSphere Replication protection groups, if you did not configure
inventory mappings, or if Site Recovery Manager was unable to apply them, the protection status
of the protection group is Not Configured.
n
For storage policy protection groups, if Site Recovery Manager could not protect all of the virtual
machines associated with the storage policy, the protection status of the protection group is Not
Configured.
What to do next
For array-based replication and vSphere Replication protection groups, if the protection status of the
protection group is Not Configured, apply inventory mappings to the virtual machines:
n
To apply site-wide inventory mappings, or to check that inventory mappings that you have already set
are valid, see Select Inventory Mappings in Site Recovery Manager Installation and Configuration. To apply
these mappings to all of the virtual machines, see “Apply Inventory Mappings to All Members of a
Protection Group,” on page 57.
n
To apply inventory mappings to each virtual machine in the protection group individually, see
“Configure Inventory Mappings for an Individual Virtual Machine in a Protection Group,” on
page 58.
For storage policy protection groups, if the protection status of the protection group is Not Configured,
verify that you satisfied the prerequisites in “Prerequisites for Storage Policy Protection Groups,”
on page 49, review “Limitations of Storage Policy Protection Groups,” on page 50, modify the storage policy
implementation accordingly, and attempt to recreate the protection group.
Organize Protection Groups in Folders
You can create folders in which to organize protection groups.
Organizing protection groups into folders is useful if you have many protection groups. You can limit the
access to protection groups by placing them in folders and assigning different permissions to the folders for
different users or groups. For information about how to assign permissions to folders, see “Assign Site
Recovery Manager Roles and Permissions,” on page 15.
