The next step is assigning the storage policy to all of the virtual machines that need to be failed over together. All VMs added to this policy will be failed over in unison, so ensure that new VMs created later that go on these datastores receive this policy.

Right-click on the target virtual machine, choose VM Policies, then Edit VM Storage Policies.

In the VM storage policy drop-down, choose the desired policy.

Do NOT choose the configure per disk- all of the virtual machine disks must be protected with the same policy when used with SRM.

Click OK.

If the storage policy has already been added to a SRM protection group, you will see the VM immediately appears in the protection group.
