   The name of the area depends on whether the VM group was defined to use a backup plan that was created in the Command Center or a storage policy that was created in the CommCell Console. You cannot change that selection for an existing VM group, but you can select a different plan or policy, as follows:

   • When editing the Plan setting, you can select a plan that was previously defined in the Command Center.

   • When editing the Policies setting, you can make the following changes:

     • From the Storage policy list, you can select a storage policy that was previously defined in the CommCell Console or a plan that was defined in the Command Center.

     • Optional: You can select a schedule policy that was previously defined in the CommCell Console.

7. Click Save.
