A read-only copy of the protection policy, with an identical name, is added to PowerStore (visible on the Protection Policies table and marked with a lock icon. NOTE: You can also add snapshot rules to enable local protection. NOTE: It is not possible to create, modify, or delete a read-only protection policy, and to assign or unassign the policy to virtual machines using PowerStore. To perform this actions, use Storage Policy update in vSphere. 3. On vSphere, create a virtual machine, assign a storage policy with a replication rule to it, and associate it with a replication group.

Virtual machine recovery Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is a VMware disaster recovery solution that automates the recovery of virtual machines during failure states. To enable virtual machine recovery, it is required to configure a recovery plan using SRM. A recovery plan runs predefined recovery steps on selected replication groups. The recovery steps include failover, reprotect, and failover test. A protection group is created on vSphere, that includes one or more replication groups and a recovery plan. If failure occurs, the SRM runs the recovery plan on the virtual volumes in the replication groups. In PowerStore, you can monitor the replication session status during recovery.
