What Is: Protected Domain?

A protected domain is a group of VMs specified by the user that should be protected and restored together. All VMs of a protected domain are replicated to the same container of the storage site.

Creating a Protected Domain

After JetStream DR has been fully configured, a protected domain must be set up to contain the VMs that will be protected. A protected domain defines a specific VM or set of VMs within the cluster that will be protected together.

A protected domain must be used for VMs to be protected, even if it is only for a single VM.

To create a protected domain, go to the Protected Domains tab and click the Create Protected Domain button.

• If no protected domains yet exist, a pop-up message will be displayed.

• Follow the steps of the pop-up dialog box:

• On the final step summary screen will appear. Review the settings then click the Create button.

• The protected domain will be created. Configuration is now complete and protection of VMs in the cluster can begin.

Refer to the JetStream DR Admin Guide for more details about creating and configuring protected domains.
