Create array-based replication protection groups to protect virtual machines for which you configured array-based replication.
Prerequisites
- Verify that you have included virtual machines in datastores for which you configured array-based replication.
- Verify that if you are using resource pools in the array pair resource mappings section, there is also a mapping from the parent cluster.
Procedure
What to do next
If the protection status of the protection group is Not Configured, apply inventory mappings to the virtual machines:
- To apply site-wide inventory mappings, or to check whether inventory mappings that you have already set are valid, see Configure Inventory Mappings. To apply these mappings to all the virtual machines, see Apply Inventory Mappings to All Members of an Array-Based, Virtual Volumes, or vSphere Replication Protection Group.
- To apply inventory mappings to each virtual machine in the protection group individually, see Configure Inventory Mappings for an Individual Virtual Machine in an Array-Based, Virtual Volumes, or vSphere Replication Protection Group.
