Why each option
Migrating a DPM-protected virtual machine to a new host requires stopping existing protection, physically moving the VM files, and re-enrolling the VM in a DPM protection group.
Removing the original VM from the old server and stopping its DPM protection is required to prevent conflicts and orphaned replica data on the DPM server before the migration proceeds.
Running a consistency check is a DPM troubleshooting action used to reconcile out-of-sync replica data, and it is not a required step in the standard virtual machine migration procedure.
Adding the copied VM on the new host to a DPM protection group re-establishes backup protection so DPM can track and protect the VM in its new location.
Copying the virtual machine files to the new server is the physical migration step that moves the workload before protection can be re-configured on the destination host.
