, you can configure protection for all the unconfigured virtual
machines by using existing site-wide inventory mappings. - Configure or reconfigure site-wide inventory mappings. To select inventory mappings, see Configure Inventory Mappings.
- Configure or reconfigure placeholder datastore mappings. To configure a placeholder datastore, see Select a Placeholder Datastore.
The status of a protection
group can be
Not Configured
for several reasons:
- You did not configure site-wide inventory mappings before you created the protection group.
- You did not configure placeholder datastore mappings before you created the protection group.
- You added virtual machines to a protection group after you created it.
- Virtual machines lost their protection, possibly because you reconfigured them after you added them to a protection group. For example, you added or removed virtual disks or devices.
