Editing a VPG
You can edit a VPG definition, including adding virtual machines to the VPG, as described in Adding Virtual Machines to a VPG - Overviewdeleting virtual machines from the VPG, or changing the information about how virtual machines are recovered, such as adding or removing volumes from the virtual machine.
You can also edit VPG settings when the sites are disconnected. However, not all VPG settings can be updated.
After modifying the VPG, the settings are updated.
