Site Recovery Manager API Developer's Guide

protectedVm – the protected virtual machine identifier on the local site

state – the protection state of this particular virtual machine

vm – the locally protected virtual machine (this reference is valid after reprotect or revert operations)

ProtectionGroupQueryVmProtection

Determine whether the specified VMs are currently protected, or can be protected. The virtual machine and
its folder, resource pool, and network must be inventory mapped to the recovery site. To get a list of currently
configured mappings, see "ListInventoryMappings" on page 22.
Example 3-23. Method to query virtual machine protection
protectInfo[] = _service.ProtectionGroupQueryVmProtection(_svcPtGrp, vms[]);
Parameters and return value:

_svcPtGrp – managed object reference to an SrmProtectionGroup object

vms[] – array of managed object references to VirtualMachine objects

protectInfo[] – array of SrmProtectionGroupVmProtectionInfo data objects with the following fields:

faults – any faults encountered while processing queryVmProtection for this virtual machine

peerProtectedVm – the protected virtual machine identifier on the remote site

protectedVm – the protected virtual machine identifier on the local site

protectionGroup – the group this virtual machine is a member of, if it is protected

protectionGroupName – the name of this virtual machine's protection group, if it is protected

recoveryPlanNames – the name(s) of any recovery plans the virtual machine will be recovered in

recoveryPlans – any recovery plans the virtual machine will be recovered in

status – the current protection status of the virtual machine

vm – the virtual machine for which protection status is being returned
You can also query replicated datastores with "ListReplicatedDatastores" on page 22.

ProtectionGroupListRecoveryPlans

This method retrieves a list of all the recovery plans that this protection group is a member of.
Example 3-24. Method to list a protection group's recovery plans
plans[] = _service.ProtectionGroupListRecoveryPlans(_svcPtGrp);
Parameters and return value:

_svcPtGrp – managed object reference to an SrmProtectionGroup object

plans[] – array of managed object references to SrmRecoveryPlan objects
Recovery Plans and Reprotection
This section covers the Site Recovery Manager API methods for recovery plans and reprotection.
You can set the recovery point objective (RPO), a desired time period for rerunning replication to avoid data
loss, using a slider in the vSphere Client. This is also where you can configure guest OS quiescing.
You can also set the recovery priority of virtual machines as part of running a recovery plan.
