# Enable replication for a disk added to an Azure VM
15+
16+
17+
This article describes how to enable replication for data disks that are added to an Azure VM that's already enabled for disaster recovery to another Azure region, using [Azure Site Recovery](site-recovery-overview.md).
18+
19+
Enabling replication for a disk you add to a VM is supported for Azure VMs with managed disks.
20+
21+
When you add a new disk to an Azure VM that's replicating to another Azure region, the following occurs:
22+
23+
- Replication health for the VM shows a warning, and a note in the portal informs you that one or more disks are available for protection.
24+
- If you enable protection for the added disks, the warning will disappear after initial replication of the disk.
25+
- If you choose not to enable replication for the disk, you can select to dismiss the warning.
26+

31+
## Before you start
32+
33+
This article assumes that you've already set up disaster recovery for the VM to which you're adding the disk. If you haven't, follow the [Azure to Azure disaster recovery tutorial](azure-to-azure-tutorial-enable-replication.md).
34+
35+
## Enable replication for an added disk
36+
37+
To enable replication for an added disk, do the following:
38+
39+
1. In the vault > **Replicated Items**, click the VM to which you added the disk.
40+
2. Click **Disks**, and then select the data disk for which you want to enable replication (these disks have a **Not protected** status).
41+
3. In **Disk Details**, click **Enable replication**.
42+
43+

44+
45+
After the enable replication job runs and the initial replication finishes, the replication health warning for the disk issue is removed.
46+
47+
48+
49+
