VPGs Recovering to Azure Standard Storage and Premium Managed Disks
Azure recovery of the VPG can be configured to Premium Managed or Standard Storage.
Based on the VPG configuration, VMs can be recovered to either Standard storage, Premium Managed disks or both.
■ Recovering VMs to the Standard Storage Account:
A VPG that all its virtual machines are recovered to the Standard storage account, as defined during the ZCA installation, can be Reverse Protected. For more information about Reverse Protection, see the Reverse Protection for a Moved VPG section.
■ Recovering VMs to Premium Managed Disks:
A VPG that all its virtual machines are recovered to Premium Managed disks goes into Recovered state. To protect a virtual machine with Premium Managed disks, see the Converting Premium Virtual Machines for Protection section.
■ Recovering VMs to Both Standard Storage and Premium Managed Disks:
In the case where a VPG has virtual machines recovering to both Standard storage and Premium Managed disks, the recovered VPG goes into a Needs Configuration state. In this scenario, you can remove the virtual machines that are recovered to Premium Managed disks in order to protect the virtual machines recovered to Standard storage.
To remove virtual machines recovered to Premium Managed disks:
a) Open the Edit VPG window > VMs tab.
b) Remove the VMs that are in Premium Managed disks. (These VMs appear as grayed out.)
c) Click Edit Save; the VPG is updated.
