CreateAbrProtectionGroup
Create a new storage array-based ProtectionGroup using the provided datastores. This method does not automatically protect VMs on the storage array. Programs must call ProtectVms() separately for VMs on the storage array to be protected. If you have a replicated datastore with an existing VM on it and then create an ABR group, the VM will not be auto protected. Workaround is to add another VM to the datastore after the ABR protection group is created. This causes both the VMs to be protected with autoprotect.
