when i create protection group, i get error: create protection group failed.
in fact, the protection group is created but in a suspect state,(see attached) . then i configure protection for this vm, still get error:
Operation failed because object is in an invalid creation state, and must be deleted.
in the SRM error log:

Can you attach full SRM logs from both sites?
Are you able to remove the protection group and create a new one in its place?
