This issue occurs if the virtual machines are moved to different protection groups from the original protection groups and the resource pools are no longer valid.

Resolution

To resolve this issue:

 

1. Ensure that there are valid resource pools to fail over to.
2. From the protection group/virtual machines:
   1. Remove the protection from each virtual machine pointing to invalid protection resource pools.
   2. Configure the protection for each virtual machine and point to valid protection resource pools.
