How to detach the harddisk of the VM while executing SRM recovery plan during planned migration and detach harddisk during recovery plan execution

Hi All,

During SRM recovery with planned migration as part of recovery plan when the virtual machine is shutting down,
Is it possible to do any configuration changes to virtaul machine?
In our experiments we are trying to remove the attached hard disk from the virtual machine during shutdown of the VM.
But our request to vCenter to detach the disk is failign with “Operation is not allowed in current state” error .

Is there any way to force the detach request in the SRM context while the VM is shutting down at the protected site?

Also we are planning to remove the attached disk from the VM through script at the recovery site. Does VMware provides
any APIs to do this operation in the context of SRM?

Thanks in advance.
