Recover an AHV virtual machine
You can recover a VM either to an original backup location or to a different location. You can choose to recover from the default copy of the backup image or from an alternate copy, if one exists. The default copy is also known as the primary copy.
To recover a VM
- On the left, click Nutanix AHV.
- Locate and click on the VM.
- Click the Recovery points tab. In the calendar view on the left, click the date on which the backup occurred indicated with a green dot.
The available images are listed in rows with the backup timestamp for each image.
- On the image that you want to recover, select one of the following image recovery options:
Recover
Recovers from the default copy of the backup image.
Recover from the default copy
Recovers from the default copy of the backup image. This option is displayed if more than one copy exists.
nn copies
Recovers from the default copy or a different copy of the backup image. NetBackup allows up to ten copies of the same backup image. All available copies are displayed when you select this option. For each copy, the Storage Name, Storage Server, and the Storage server type are displayed. Click Recover for the copy that you want to recover.
- Review the Restore to values in Recovery target.
The default values are populated from the backup image of the VM.
To recover to an alternate location change the default cluster in the Restore to option. Then click Next.
Note:
You must have View and View restore target permissions on storage container or cluster to list down the expected storage container in target drop-down.
- Review or change the Recovery options values.
Allow overwrite of existing virtual machine
Deletes any VM with the same display name that exists at the destination. That VM must be deleted before the recovery begins. Otherwise, the recovery fails.
Power on after recovery
Automatically powers on the VM when the recovery is complete.
Recovery host
Indicate the host that you want to use to perform the recovery. By default, the recovery host is the one that performed the backup.
Create new VM ID instead of existing one
Create a new ID for the VM that is different from the existing value that was set during the backup.
Note:
VM ID is the VM UUID.
Restore VM from snapshot
Lets you restore the VM from snapshot.
Note:
If snapshot is not available, VM is restored from the backup image.
- Review or change the Advanced options.
Remove network interfaces
Remove the network interfaces that were set for the VM during the backup.
Retain MAC address
Retain the MAC address that was set for the VM during the backup.
- Click Next to run the Recovery overview.
This runs the pre-recovery check on values provided in recovery target and recovery options pages. Checks connectivity and existence of AHV cluster and storage containers. Determines whether the storage container has available space and checks other requirements.
- Click Start recovery.
- Click the Restore activity tab to monitor a job's progress. Select a specific job to view its details.
