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 or Mapping Missing.
If you are using array based replication, when you edit the properties of a virtual machine to add or change
storage devices (such as hard disks or DVD drives) you can affect the protection of that machine if you add a
device that is stored on a datastore that is not replicated, or that is protected by a different protection group.
n
If the new device is created on a replicated datastore that is not protected (not part of any protection group),
the datastore is added to the virtual machine's protected datastore group and the virtual machine's
protection is unaffected.
n
If the new device is created on a replicated datastore that is protected by a different protection group, the
virtual machine's protection is invalidated.
n
If the new device is created on a nonreplicated datastore, the virtual machine's protection is invalidated.
