vVol protection with SRM contains the same processes as using array-based replication, which is covered in this document. With fault domains in place and associated storage policies, protection is simplified with assigning a storage policy to the virtual machine and placing it onto storage that complies with that policy. The following screenshots show the workflow steps within SRM to create protection groups and recovery plans.
Note: When using vVols protection groups, SRM checks both the recovery and the protection site and matches the vVols configurations that can be used.
