Recovery after restoring to a datacenter
The following procedure enables you to import restored virtual machine disks into a
new or an existing virtual machine. Use this procedure if you have restored individual
virtual machine disks or virtual machines to the original ESX Server or ESXi Server
system (Application database: datacenter), however, without selecting the option
Register virtual machines if needed. Note that after such a restore, the original virtual
machines are no longer registered. So in case you decide to import the disks into
new virtual machines, the new virtual machines can have the same names as the
original ones.
However, before you import the disks, you have to prepare the disks first, depending
on the backup you restored from:
•
Snapshot: Link and consolidate virtual machine disk files.
•
Suspend: Consolidate virtual machine disk files.
