Step 1 - Create Smart Copy
When creating Smart Copies from the VSM Smart Copy interface the first step is
to select a managed object. This can be a Virtual Machine or a Virtual Machine
folder. The inventory view can be changed to Datastores in which case the
managed object can be a Datastore, a Datastore folder or a Datastore cluster.
If launching the Smart Copy Wizard from within vCenter by right clicking an
object, that entity will become the managed object for the Smart Copy Wizard
and it will skip Step 1 effectively re-numbering the steps explained in this
document. (i.e. Step 2 will actually be Step 1 and so forth but the options
remain identical)
Make your selection of what object is to be protect with Smart Copy and click
Next.
