An “InvalidPowerState<\/em>” error may be encountered when applying or removing VM protection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Applying Protection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
When a VM is added for protection, it may fail to complete the task and report \u201cFailed to apply the Storage Policy change<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nError applying protection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Task details display the following text:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Removing Protection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
When protection is removed from the VM, it may fail to complete the task and report: \u201c<\/strong>Failed to detach storage policy from Protected VM<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nError removing protection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
Failover of domains containing VMs with this problem may report the error \u201cVM has non Supported Disk controller<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nFailover domain error message.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Cause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The protection error generally occurs for VMs with disks that are configured with their Virtual Device Node set to \u201cIDE.\u201d However, if protection is initiated while the VM is powered off<\/strong><\/em>, <\/strong>the task will succeed. The problem can also occur when powered on VMs with IDE configured disks are unprotected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a protected VM is powered on and its disk’s Virtual Device Node is changed from SCSI to IDE, it will report a replication error. Likewise, adding a new IDE disk to a powered on, protected VM will fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVM with reported error.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n
Go to the VM > Edit settings <\/strong>screen.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Select the hard disk and check if any of its Virtual Device Nodes are set to IDE<\/em><\/strong>.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
If any disks are found to be configured with IDE:\n
\n
Power off the VM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Return to the VM > Edit <\/strong>settings screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Select the hard disk and change its Virtual Device Node to SCSI.\n
\n
Before committing the change, verify SCSI mode is compatible with the VM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Apply this change to all applicable hard disks that are set to IDE.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Important: <\/strong>Be certain of the VM\u2019s compatiblity with SCSI Virtual Device Node. If unsure, thoroughly test it using a cloned VM before applying the change to a production VM.
