Error During Stop Protection

This article applies to all software versions.

Issue

The stop protection task may seem to fail and display an error message “Specified VM is not being protected.” This error can occur if no VMs are part of the protection group or protection has been already been stopped.

Solution

Check to see if the Protected Domain is empty:

1. Log in to JetStream DR.
2. Select the Protected Domain from “ Protected Domains” tab.
3. Verify if VM’s appear in the protected VMs list.
   • If the list is empty, this is most likely the cause of the problem.

Refer to the Admin Guide for more information about starting and stopping protection.
