4.1

The specified customizations are applied to all of the virtual machines named in the csv file during
a recovery.
(You do not need to select a customization specification for these machines when you edit their properties in
a recovery plan.)
Configure Protection for a Virtual Machine or Template
You can edit the protection properties of any virtual machine or template in a protection group. You can change
the resource mappings, attached storage devices and their datastores, and other properties that control the
configuration with which the virtual machine is recovered.
You must configure protection for virtual machines that have a status of Not Configured, Mapping Missing,
or Mapping Invalid.
NOTE If inventory mappings have been established for a site, you cannot override them by configuring the
protection of individual virtual machines. If you need to override inventory mappings for a few members of
a protection group, use the vSphere Client to connect to the recovery site and edit the network settings of the
placeholders or move them to a different folder or resource pool.
Procedure
1 Open a vSphere Client and connect to the vCenter server at the protected site.
Log in as a vSphere administrator.
2 On the vSphere Client Home page, click the Site Recovery
icon.
3 In the Site Recovery tree view, navigate to the protection group that includes the virtual machine that you
want to configure.
4 On the Virtual Machines page, right-click a virtual machine and click Configure Protection.
