Site Recovery Manager 8.5.x was the last general version that supported storage policy protection groups (SPPG).

Site Recovery Manager version 8.5.0.5 and later has a dedicated Storage Policy Protection Group migration tool that you can use to migrate your SPPGs to regular array-based replication protection groups. You can run the tool from your Site Recovery Manager 8.5.0.5 or later environment, or from a clean Site Recovery Manager 8.6 installation.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have upgraded your environment to Site Recovery Manager 8.5.0.5 or later, or that you have a clean installation of Site Recovery Manager 8.6.
