What must an administrator verify before starting a migration of entities from a protection domain to a protection policy?

The migration process from a legacy Protection Domain to a modern Protection Policy involves changing the underlying data protection configuration for the specified entities (VMs or Volume Groups). To ensure a consistent and successful transition, the system requires that no replication tasks are in progress for these entities. An active replication could interfere with the migration wizard's ability to reconfigure the protection schedule and targets, potentially leading to a failed migration or an inconsistent protection state. Therefore, pausing or waiting for ongoing replications to complete is a mandatory prerequisite.

A. Adding entities to a category is part of the new Protection Policy configuration, not a prerequisite for starting the migration from the old system.
B. A recovery plan is associated with the destination Protection Policy, which does not exist until after the migration is configured.
D. While having a recent backup is a good operational practice, it is not a technical prerequisite enforced by the system to initiate the migration process.

The documentation explicitly states, "Ensure that there are no ongoing replications for the entities you want to migrate."
