How do I map a resource pool if the DR site is vSphere foundation and cannot create resource pools?

I have a vCenter enterprise, 8 ESXi 7.0.2 hosts with SRM 8.5 and a pure array pair to a DR location with vCenter Foundation and 4 ESXI 7.0.2 hosts.

In SRM it shows the protection groups have an error.  Mapping missing: Resource Pool 'Production - Normal' or whatever it is.

But there's no way to resolve because at DR site vCenter foundation server doesn't seem to have the feature to add resource pools.  How can I override this?  I'm ok with SRM testing or activation that all the VMs just live at the root at the datacenter level, or in a folder called SRM for that matter.

Looks like I have to map them to individual ESXi hosts.  Dumb but it works.
