6.9 Restoring Virtual Disks and Guest OS Files and Directories

The basic restore functionality provided in 3PAR Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere is the

ability to mount all, or some, virtual copy volumes on one or more ESX hosts. You can perform

an actual restore by copying virtual disk images, or by mounting virtual disks on VMs for guest

OS level restore, by using already available VMware tools, most of which are integrated with

the VI Client. However, Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere also provides two commands

to simplify some of the commonly used restore user cases.

NOTE: To be used in the scheduler, users must have the proper credentials created

through the vCenter Credential Store File using VMware PowerCLI and have a

valid InServ Credential registration established through the Admin Tool.

NOTE: Since InServ credential registration is only accessible by the creation owner

and members of Administrator, user accounts used in the scheduler have to have

access to the registration data.

NOTE: Any user account that is used in the scheduler requires access permission to

the specified vCenter Store file.
