i am trying to create protection groups but i get the following error:

"" Unable to find a placeholder datastore for the host/cluster , Any placeholder datastores registered with the SRM server that were deleted and recreated in the vCenter Server will need to be removed and re-added as a new placeholder datastore with the SRM server as well. ""

i have already uninstalled SRM and installed it with new settings with no success, still getting this error.

is there any workaround or a solution without removing the VMs from the vCenter Server inventory and re-replicate again.??

regards
