vSAN Storage policy is not retained after VM restore

Problem

VMware vSAN Storage policy is not retained after VM restore and the default vSAN storage policy is used.

 

Cause

Backup Exec does not capture the datastore storage policy associated with a VM.
When a VM is restored, if the old VM exists it is deleted first. When the restored VM is newly created, the default storage policy for the target datastore is automatically assigned.

 

Solution

Assign an appropriate policy after VM restore by manual operation.
