When a vVols based VM does not have a snapshot of the Config vVol, the VM will report that it does not have Undelete Protection

For these workflows, a Storage Policy is created that has Local Snapshot Protection placement rule sets and the FlashArray Group specified

The VM that showed that Undelete Protection was not current had the vVol No Requirements Policy applied to it

The VM storage policy is changed to the one previously covered and applied to the whole VM

Once the protection group snapshot schedule triggers, we now see that the VM has Undelete Protection

Looking at the VM Compliance for the Policy we see the 4 VMs that have it applied and that they are all in a Compliant state

Now that the way the VMs are protected on the array is covered here are the specific workflows with these examples.
