Create vSphere Replication protection groups to protect virtual machines for which you configured vSphere Replication.
Prerequisites
Verify that you configured vSphere Replication on virtual machines.
Procedure
Results
- If VMware Live Site Recovery successfully applied inventory mappings to the protected virtual machines, the protection status of the protection group is OK.
- If you did not configure inventory mappings, or if VMware Live Site Recovery was unable to apply them, the protection status of the protection group is Not Configured.
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.
