Selecting a destination
The Destination Selection page lets you configure the virtual data center (vDC) to which the VMware vSphere® vApp(s)™ savepoints are to be restored, and the name of the restored vApp.
To select a destination:
1 To rename the vApp you are restoring, enter the new name in the Restore vApp As field.
2 In the Restore vApp under vDC drop-down list, select the virtual data center to which the vApp should be restored.
3 For each network listed, select a network for the restored vApp in the Restore to Network column.
4 Click Next.Mapping storage
To select storage mapping:
1 In the Storage Profile drop-down list, select the applicable storage profile.Selecting a storage profile allows VMware® vCloud Director® to select the appropriate datastore automatically based on your storage profile settings.
2 To specify a datastore manually, select Any in the Storage Profile drop-down list, and select the applicable datastore in the Datastore drop-down list.
3 Click Next.
Selecting a restore data transport method
In vRanger, the transport determines how restore data is sent, and where the restore processing activity occurs; for more information, see VMware backup transport options. When configuring a restore job for a VMware® VM or VMware vSphere® vApp(s)™, the Restore Wizard uses the Automatic transport selection option by default to select the best transport method automatically at run-time. You can also configure the transport manually by using the Using Custom transport selection option.
NOTE: The Transport Selection page is not available when restoring a physical or Hyper-V® virtual server. When restoring physical servers and Hyper-V VMs, vRanger sends the data to restore over the network from the repository. Because this method is the only one available for transporting data for physical and Hyper-V servers, the Transport Selection page of the Restore Wizard does not display.Using Automatic transport selection
The Restore Wizard includes an Automatic transport selection option, which lets vRanger select the best available method for your configuration. When determining the best transport, vRanger uses two key criteria:
The logic used to select a transport differs slightly based on whether vRanger is installed on a VM or on a physical server. For more information about the order in which vRanger checks for transport availability, see Transport selection order: VM backup.
To use Automatic transport selection:
1The selected transport method appears at the bottom of the page.
2 Click Next.Using Custom transport selection
The Custom transport selection option lets you specify both where the actual restore processing activity occurs) and which transport to use. For more information, see VMware backup transport options.
To use Custom transport selection:
1This option enables the custom settings.
If no VA is detected, click Configure Virtual Appliance to add a VA to vRanger. For more information about configuring the VA, see Understanding the vRanger virtual appliance (VA).
