The main operations for a protected VM are available in VMware SRM only. This section provides an overview of available Operations in PowerStore Manager and VMware Site Recovery Manager.
Operations for a replication session in PowerStore Manager always affect all vVols in the same resource group. A resource group is configured during the protection of a VM when assigning the VMware Protection Policy in vCenter.
With Synchronize operations, a manual replication is executed for all vVols in the replication group covered by the replication session.
This operationpauses the replication session for all vVols in the replication group at the current state. After pausing a vVol replication session, the scheduled RPO replications are disabled.
The resume operation resumes a paused replication. It also enables the schedules for RPO based replications.
All vVol replication operations in SRM are based on an underlying Replication Group. Each Replication Group can contain multiple resources groups.
