Starting a virtual machine

After a virtual machine is restored, it is in powered off state. You must start it manually. When you start the virtual machine, the operating system might prompt to perform an error recovery or record the reason for the unclean shutdown. In most cases, you can ignore this message and select the normal boot option.

NOTE: A feature introduced in vSphere 5 prevents you from restoring a virtual machine directly to an ESXi 5 host when the host is managed by a vCenter Server. To restore a virtual machine directly to the host, you must first disassociate the host from the vCenter Server.
To disassociate an ESXi Server from a vCenter Server
1
From the vSphere Client, connect directly to the ESXi 5 host.
2
In the Inventory panel, select the host.
3
In the right-hand panel, click Summary.
4
Select the Disassociate host from vCenter Server check box.

For more information, see the relevant vSphere documentation.

Renaming a virtual machine during restore

To restore a virtual machine or its individual disks without overwriting the existing copy, you can rename the virtual machine during restore. The plug-in creates a virtual machine and restores the contents of the selected disks.

To rename a virtual machine during restore
1
Complete Step 1 through Step 4 in the section Restoring data.
2
Select the target virtual machine, and in the Actions list, click Rename.
 
* 
NOTE: Only backups created with Plug‑in for VMware 2.6 and later support the Rename feature.
3
In the Restore Rename dialog box, provide the following information:
•
Rename To: Select this check box, and type a new name for the virtual machine in the associated box. The name can contain a maximum of 80 characters. It cannot include any special characters (such as, / \ ? * : @ > < | " ? &). If you specify more than 80 characters or use any special character in the virtual machine name, the job reports an error and fails.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
After you close the dialog box, the plug-in updates the corresponding node in the selections tree to display the new name for the virtual machine.
4
Complete Step 5 through Step 10 in the section Restoring data.
 
* 
NOTE: When you rename a virtual machine, the plug-in renames all disk and configuration files except the vmware.log files.
5
When you start the renamed virtual machine, a dialog box is displayed that asks whether you copied the virtual machine or moved it. Select the “I copied it” option and close the dialog box.
