Cause
vSphere 5.X does not allow some operations to be performed directly on the ESX host when attached to vCenter server.

Resolution
Option 1/ remove the ESX server from the vCenter server to do the restore or permanently remove the ESX server from the vCenter server and control the ESX server individually
Option 2 / add the VCenter server to the plugin and backup and restore through the vCenter server.
Note if you are not using VMware enterprise license you cannot do this as the VMware ESX server license will not allow backups or restores through VCenter server. You will need to upgrade the VMware license
