Two recovery plan for same datastore?
In the recovery site i have datastore named "VMFS1" I have 5 VMS. All VMs are replicated via Vsphere replicator 5.1. Is it possible to have one recovery plan with VMs "VM1 and VM2" and another recovery plan with VMs "VM3,VM4 and VM5" ? and run both recovery plan in test mode at same time ? I am not sure how SRM will handle this because
recovery Plan A would have already created snap shot of datastore VMFS1 and recovery plan B will not be able to create snapshot of datastore VMFS1 at same time. Any ideas?

ONE DS GROUP = ONE PROTECTION GROUP
once a Datastore Group is mapped to a protection group it has now been benched, meaning you cant use that DS within any other PG. It’s cool when you don’t have only one Datastore Group that in essence encompasses all of your replicated Datastores. And this is what can happen if you have multiple VM’s spread across multiple replicated Datastores. ONE DS GROUP = ONE PROTECTION GROUP…Failover is now all or none
