Expected Behavior: To update the retention SLA as Existing SLA while unprotecting the VM.

Steps to Reproduce:

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

1. Step 1 : Take a VM Which is protected by SLA and note the VM ID
2. Step 2: Use the command to unprotect the VM : Protect-RubrikVM -id <VM_ID> -DoNotProtect -ExistingSnapshotRetention RetainSnapshots -verbose

Issue: Seems like its broken on both 5.1 and 5.2. I used API code capture and we seem to be calling a different endpoint when unprotecting the VM. The endpoint we hit is POST /v2/sla_domain/UNPROTECTED/assign.
Also, /v1/vmware/vm/{id} does not have

Thanks for reporting this @suren-rubr, I'll take a look at how we can improve this behavior in the module. I have tested this in our environment and confirmed that this is indeed a bug.

I'll update you here once I have some code ready.

Hi @suren-rubr,

I've posted the initial code to resolve this issue in the following PR #690

Let me know if this helps resolve your issue

Hi @jaapbrasser ,

Thanks for looking into this;

I tried the changes but still the retention is set forever rather than previous SLA;
