Setting restore options for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

1
On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and select VMDK Images as the Restore Type.
This type of restore provides two additional options — either to restore the VMDK Image to a local directory of the NetVault Backup Server or to restore to a remote ESX® Server.
2
If you want to restore the VMDK Image to a local directory of the NetVault Backup Server, in the Local Target Directory box of the VMDK Recovery Options frame, enter a valid path to the location for storing recovered images.
•
Restore the VMDK Image to a local directory of the NetVault Backup Server.
From the VMDK Recovery Options, enter a valid path in the Local Target Directory field for storing the recovered images. If this field is left blank, the default is the NetVault Backup temp directory, “…/NetVault Backup/tmp”.
•
Restore the VMDK Image directly to a remote ESX Server. This process is useful when there is no space on the local storage on the NetVault Backup Server machine or when users are using an ESX server.
a
From the VMDK Recovery Options, select Restore to Remote ESX Server.
b
Enter the values for ESX Host, Port, Username, Password, and Path.
•
ESX Host: Enter the host name of the IP address of the ESX Server.
•
Port: Enter the remote console port on the ESX Server.
•
Username: Enter the user name to log on to the ESX Server.
•
Password: Enter the password for the specified user name.
•
Path: Enter the directory on the ESX Server where the VMDK files should be created. This path should always start with a datastore within square brackets: [datastore] dir. If the path specified does not exist, the plug-in cannot connect to the ESX Server.

Finalizing and submitting the job for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
1
Click Ok to save the settings, and then click Next.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. On Windows®, there is no length restriction; however, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.
3
To use the Plug-in Server components installed on the NetVault Backup Server, in the Target Client list, select the NetVault Backup Server from the list of machines
 
* 
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
Restores of Plug-in Live Client backups must be routed through the NetVault Backup Server. This step sets the chosen machine as the intended target. This setting works in tandem with the Restore Name option to route the restore properly.
4
Use the Schedule and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.
5
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.
You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Creating the VM for a restore as a VMDK Image with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

After the restore job has completed, you can create a VM from the restored VMDK file by using the VMware Server console.
1
Log on the VMware Server console.
2
Confirm that the VMDK file is located in the datastore path that was specified under ESX Server Options.
3
On the ESX Server, browse the datastore and navigate to the specified path.
The path should contain a file with the extension “.vmdk”.
4
In the upper-left corner of the VMware Server console, click the Create Virtual Machines icon.
5
When the Configuration dialog box appears, select Custom, and click Next.
6
In the Name field on the Name and Location dialog box, enter a descriptive name for your VM, and click Next.
7
When the Datastore dialog box appears, select a datastore in which to store the VM, and click Next.
8
When the Virtual Machine Version dialog box appears, select the version, and click Next.
9
When the Guest Operating System dialog box appears, select the guest OS, and click Next.
10
When the CPUs dialog box appears, select the number of virtual processors on the VM, and click Next.
11
When the Memory dialog box appears, configure the VM’s memory size, and click Next.
12
When the Network dialog box appears, configure the VM’s network connections, and click Next.
13
When the SCSI Controller dialog box appears, select the SCSI Controller type, and click Next.
 
* 
NOTE: NetVault Bare Metal Recovery only supports LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controllers for ESX 4.0 and LSI Logic SCSI for ESX 3.5.
14
When the Select a Disk dialog box appears, select Use an existing virtual disk, and click Next.
15
When the Browse Datastores dialog box appears, navigate to the datastore to locate the VMDK file, select it, and click OK.
16
When the Ready to Complete dialog box appears, review the summary of the VM you created, and then click Finish.
17
When the new VM appears in the left pane of the VMware console, right-click it, and select Open Console from the pop-up menu.
18
Power on the VM from the console.
The Windows® logo appears following a successful boot.
 
* 
NOTE: Dell recommends installing VMware Tools before using the VM. For instructions, see the VMware documentation.
 
* 
NOTE: Be aware of the following:
•
The “@” character cannot be used in the datastore path.
•
When restoring to an ESX Server, verify that there is sufficient free disk space available on the ESX VM. For details on calculating the required disk space, see: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1003755
•
The block size determines the minimum amount of disk space that any file takes up on VMFS datastores. Choose the block size carefully when creating VMFS datastores. The following block sizes are available:
•
1MB block size = 256GB maximum file size
•
2MB block size = 512GB maximum file size
•
4MB block size = 1024GB (1TB) maximum file size
•
8MB block size = 2048GB (2TB) maximum file size
