Apply Recovery Settings to Virtual Machines in a Protection Group

If you change advanced recovery settings for protected virtual machines, the new settings do not take effect until the virtual machines are reconfigured.
You can more conveniently update recovery settings by using the Protection Groups feature when you apply settings to multiple virtual machines, although it can be used for a single virtual machine. You can select all of the virtual machines in a protection group and update the settings all at once.
  1. On the
    Site Recovery
    home tab, select a site pair, and click
    View Details
    .
  2. Select the
    Protection Groups
    tab, and click on the protection group to which the virtual machine belongs.
  3. On the
    Virtual Machines
    tab, right-click a virtual machine and click
    Remove Protection
    .
    The virtual machine status changes to Not Configured.
  4. Click
    Configure All VMs
    to reconfigure all virtual machines in the protection group, or select a virtual machine and click
    Configure Protection
    to reconfigure only that virtual machine.
