You created the protection group with Datastore A. To protect your virtual machines when you use array-based replication, you must configure the protection of your virtual machines that reside on Datastore A. The next step is to configure the protection of your virtual machines by running the Protect All Unprotected Virtual Machines Associated with the Protection Group workflow.
Before you begin
Connect to Protected Site A by using the Orchestrator client.
Verify that you ran the Login Remote Site workflow for the current Orchestrator client session.
Create a protection group for array-based replication. See User Scenario: Create a Protection Group for Array-Based Replication.
About this task
By running the workflow, you apply the configured inventory mappings to your virtual machines and create placeholder virtual machines on the placeholder Datastore B on Recovery Site B. For information about applying inventory mappings to your virtual machines, see the Apply Inventory Mappings to All Members of a Protection Group topic in the Site Recovery Manager Administration documentation.
In this scenario all virtual machines in Datastore A are unprotected.
You run the current workflow on Protected Site A.
Procedure
- In the Orchestrator client left pane, click the Workflows view.
- Select .
- Run the Protect All Unprotected Virtual Machines Associated with Protection Group workflow.
- Right-click the workflow and select Start workflow.
- Under the Protection Group setting click Not Set and select YourCo ABR Protection Group.
- Click Submit.
What to do next
Create a recovery plan called YourCo RP by using the Site Recovery Manager interface in the vSphere Web Client. See the Create a Recovery Plan topic in the Site Recovery Manager Administration documentation.
Add the protection group to the recovery plan. See User Scenario: Add a Protection Group to a Recovery Plan.
