Hi,

Just to make things clear,

you are running the command on recovery site's SRM server AND resulting csv file does not contain all the protected VMs (placeholders)?

I can't think of a reason for this behavior.

Do missing VMs have something in common: specific cluster, resource pool, datastore, folder, etc.?

no exist any specific configuration how you asked.  you know if exist any commando to do a refresh in DB of SRM to re-read all virtual machines ?  Thanks

Not command I am aware of. Maybe srm-config.exe with some command switch.

Have you tried to look on SRM logs?

Hey Bonder,

How many VM's is it supposed to display and how many does the csv file actually show?

Try opening the csv file in a text editor and see if it displays the same amount of vm's. Excel is not always csv friendly, depending on the version you are using.
