Sample Scripts for your reference :
Create a Report of the Virtual Machines Associated with All Protection Groups:
1. List all protection groups associated with the SRM server.
$srmApi = $srm.ExtensionData
$protectionGroups = $srmApi.Protection.ListProtectionGroups()
2.Generate a report of the virtual machines associated with all protection groups.
$protectionGroups | % {
$protectionGroup = $_
$protectionGroupInfo = $protectionGroup.GetInfo()
# The following command lists the virtual machines associated with a protection group
$vms = $protectionGroup.ListAssociatedVms()
# The result of the above call is an array of references to the virtual machines at the vSphere API
# To populate the data from the vSphere connection, call the UpdateViewData method on each virtual machine view object
$vms | % { $_.UpdateViewData() }
# After the data is populated, use it to generate a report
$vms | %{
$output = "" | select VmName, PgName
$output.VmName = $_.Name
$output.PgName = $protectionGroupInfo.Name
$output
}
} | Format-Table @{Label="VM Name"; Expression={$_.VmName} }, @{Label="Protection group name"; Expression={$_.PgName} }

Protect a Virtual Machine
You can protect a virtual machine by replicating it to a remote SRM site.
1. Connect to the vCenter Server system that the SRM server is registered with.
Connect-VIServer -Server vc3.example.com -User 'MyAdministratorUser' -Password 'MyPassword'
2.Establish a connection to the local SRM server by providing credentials to the remote SRM site.
$srm = Connect-SrmServer -RemoteUser 'MyRemoteUser' -RemotePassword 'MyRemotePassword'
3.List all protection groups associated with the SRM server.
$srmApi = $srm.ExtensionData
$protectionGroups = $srmApi.Protection.ListProtectionGroups()
4.Associate the TestVM virtual machine with the ProtGroup1 protection group and enable the protection for that virtual machine.
$vmToAdd = Get-VM "TestVM"
$targetProtectionGroup = $protectionGroups | where {$_.GetInfo().Name -eq "ProtGroup1" }
$targetProtectionGroup.AssociateVms(@($vmToAdd.ExtensionData.MoRef))
# Enable protection for that virtual machine
$protectionSpec = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Srm.Views.SrmProtectionGroupVmProtectionSpec
$protectionSpec.Vm = $vmToAdd.ExtensionData.MoRef
$protectTask = $targetProtectionGroup.ProtectVms($protectionSpec)
while(-not $protectTask.IsComplete()) { sleep -Seconds 1 }
