NetVault Plug-in for RHV 13.0 - User Guide

Renaming and relocating a VM during restore

The plug-in lets you restore a VM to a different name and location. The renaming of a VM can be useful if you do not want to overwrite the existing version. You can relocate a VM to a new cluster and storage domain, provided that the storage domain has a Windows backup proxy with NetVault client and Plug‑in for Red Hat Virtualization running on it.

Restoring a VM to an alternate cluster and storage domain

This functionality is useful during disaster recovery operations. You can restore a VM to an alternate RHV cluster and storage domain.

Before you begin this process, verify that the following requirements are met on the new restore target:

•
Common RHV Manager: The RHV Manager (RHV-M) should be common between the new and old cluster and storage domain.
•
Compatible RHV host versions: The RHV host version should be the same between the new and old cluster and storage domain.
•
NetVault Plug‑in for Red Hat Virtualization is installed: Ensure that the same version of NetVault software and NetVault Plug‑in for Red Hat Virtualization are installed and configured on the new restore target.
•
NetVault Client is added to the NetVault Server: Add the target machine to the NetVault Server using the Manage Clients page of the NetVault Web UI.
