API methods for protection groups and virtual machine
replication.
In SRM 5.8, new APIs appeared to
create protection groups, assign them to recovery plans, and protect virtual
machines using array‐based or host‐based replication. The new APIs provide
three types of functionality for vSphere disaster recovery operations:
- Infrastructure
- workflows to create protection groups
- workflows to create inventory mappings between matching objects
- workflows to add protection groups to recovery plans
- Virtual machine (VM) protection
- workflows to protect VMs using a pre‐configured array‐based protection group
- workflows to protect VMs using a pre‐configured host‐replicated protection group
- Virtual machine (VM) recovery settings
- recovery priority
- per‐VM callouts
- final power state
