Restoring a full virtual machine or individual virtual disks

The procedure for recovering a full virtual machine or individual virtual disks from an image-level backup includes the step outlined in the following sections:

Prerequisites

Before you start the restore procedure, verify that the following requirements are met:

Restoring data

1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, the saveset table provides a list of available savesets. The table shows the saveset name (Job Title and Saveset ID), creation date and time, saveset size, and saveset status.

Saveset is online (all segments are online).

Saveset is partially online (some segments are online).

Saveset is offline (all segments are offline).

Client

Displays savesets created for particular clients.

Click the Client box, and in the Choose Client dialog box, select the clients. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Plugin Type

Displays savesets created using a particular plug-in.

Click the Plugin Type box, and in the list, select the plug-in.

Date

Displays savesets created during a specified period.

Click the Date box, and in the list, select the option that you want to use. The available options are Last 24 hours, Last Week, Last Month, Last 6 Months, Last Year, and Any.

Job

Displays savesets created for particular jobs.

Click the Job box, and in the Choose Job dialog box, select the jobs. Click OK to close the dialog box.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, job title, tag, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, archive or not, and saveset size.
4
On the Create Selection Set page, select the images that you want to restore.
5
Click Edit Plugin Options. Depending on your VMware environment, configure the applicable options in the Plug-in for VMware Restore Options dialog box.
Cluster setup: In a cluster setup managed by a vCenter Server, configure the following options on the Restore virtual machine under vCenter tab.

Recover virtual machine under vCenter

To restore a full virtual machine or one or more virtual disks, select this option.

Allocate Resource Pool Path

A resource pool represents the CPU and memory resources that are available to an ESX Server host or a cluster of hosts. These resources are made available to the individual virtual machines controlled by the host. Resource pools can be configured in terms of absolute minimum and maximum quantities or relative shares. To run a virtual machine, it must be allocated a resource pool.

By default, a virtual machine is allocated to its original resource pool during restore. To allocate a virtual machine to an alternate resource pool, specify the target resource pool in this box. Use the following format to specify the resource pool:

/Pool-A/Pool-B/.../Pool<n>

Here, Pool<n> is the target resource pool, Pool-A is the child of the root resource pool, Pool-B is the child of Pool-A, and so on. This format allows you to specify a resource pool at any arbitrary depth within the hierarchy. To allocate the virtual machine to the root resource pool, type the “/” character.

Note the following:

Alternate Datastore

A datastore represents a storage location for virtual machine files. It can be a VMFS volume, directory on Network Attached Storage, or local file system path. A datastore is platform- and host-independent.

To change the datastore for a virtual machine, specify the destination datastore name for the virtual machine. You can use this option when the original datastore is unavailable, inaccessible, or cannot hold the virtual machine due to lack of space. Verify that the name is correct and the datastore is accessible to the ESX Server Host. When you configure an alternate datastore, all virtual disk and configuration files associated with a virtual machine are restored to a single datastore. Verify that the target datastore has sufficient disk space to hold the virtual machine files.

Restore fails if the datastore is invalid or inaccessible or does not have sufficient space to store virtual machine files.

Standalone ESXi Server setup: In a standalone ESXi Server setup, click the Restore virtual machine to standalone ESXi host tab, and configure the following options.

Recover virtual machine to standalone ESXi host

To restore a full virtual machine or one or more virtual disks, select this option.

Alternate Datastore

To change the datastore for a virtual machine, specify the destination datastore name for the virtual machine. For more information about this option, see Alternate Datastore.

6
Click Save to save the settings, and then click Next.
7
In Job Name, specify a name for the job. Assign a descriptive name that allows you to easily identify the job for monitoring its progress.
8
In the Target Client list, the client from which data was backed up is selected by default. Do not change this setting.
10
Click Submit to submit the job for scheduling.
You can monitor the job progress from the Job Status page and view the logs from the View Logs page. For more information about these functions, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Important notes

(<server_address> must be the address of the target vCenter or ESXi Server on which you want to restore the virtual disks.)
2
In the uuid box, type the UUID for the virtual machine that you want to restore.
3
In the vmSearch box, type true.
5
The virtual machines that share the given UUID are displayed in the val list. Click the link for managed object reference of each virtual machine to view the name and other details.
