After reconfiguring a replication to assign a new storage policy, the policy is not applied

The storage policy is applied to the replica disks at the target site when you first configure or recover a replication.

Problem

If you reconfigure the replication with a new storage policy, and the replicated virtual disks are not targeted to a vSAN target datastore, the change is not automatically reflected in the pair site.

Solution

1. Recover the virtual machines with reconfigured replication.
2. By using the vSphere Client, change the storage policy of the recovered virtual machines to the new policy.
3. Unregister the recovered virtual machines from the vCenter Server inventory.
4. Configure replication again by using seeds and with the new storage policy.
