## Data Object Description

The DasProtectionState object describes the vSphere HA protection state of a virtual machine (VM).

Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
dasProtected | xsd:boolean | Whether vSphere HA is protecting a virtual machine (VM). If a VM is protected, vSphere HA will enforce any availability features that have been enabled for this VM. For example, if the VM is running on a host that fails and the VM is configured to be restarted on a failure, then vSphere HA will attempt to restart the VM on another host. Similarly, if you enable VM/Application Health Monitoring for this VM, vSphere HA will monitor the heartbeats of the VM and reset the VM when needed, as dictated by the configured policy settings.
