About Storage Policy Mappings

You can protect virtual machines that you have associated with storage policies by including them in storage policy protection groups.

Storage policies place virtual machines in the vCenter Server inventory and on datastores according to rules and tags that you define in vCenter Server. Storage policies can move virtual machines in the inventory or to different datastores, to accommodate changes in the vCenter Server environment.

If you map storage policies on the protected site to storage policies on the recovery site, when you run a recovery plan, Site Recovery Manager places the recovered virtual machines in the vCenter Server inventory and on datastores on the recovery site according to the storage policy that you mapped to on the recovery site.
