John – I’ve been “playing” with vStorage quite a bit.
Regarding the restore to alternate location, I’ve been able to
restore to an alternate location but with some issues (see my post here: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/virtual-machine-recovery-issues).
Couple things to check:
1.
Make sure you are
restoring to your VM Backup Host
2.
Make sure your DNS
(forward and reverse) resolves the hostname of the vCenter and all ESX hosts
3.
Make sure your VM
Backup host can ping the vCenter and all ESX hosts

Subject: [Veritas-bu] More vStorage w/ NBU 7 Observations...
Hello all,
I continue to find new vStorage API backup
nuances for Netbackup 7 (most recently discover vCenter crendentails are
insufficient to backup lab manager deployed VM’s, you need to run as root
on the ESX servers themselves).
Now I’ve noticed that if you backup a
client using ESX Server credentials, instead of vCenter
credentials, restoring to an alternate location fails.
What happens is:
1)
The backup completes normally
2)
Select the guest image
for restore, and the backup server as the destination client, and start the
Virtual Machine Recovery wizard
3)
Select “Alternate Location” on
the first screen, and then “Next”
4)
The next screen hangs trying to
populate the Datstore and Resource Pool dropdown menus (needed to perform the
alternate location restore)
Anyone know if this expected or is
there a timeout/etc that needs to be adjusted? I have checked the
bpvmutil logs, and I see the following errors:
-
SYM_VMC_ERROR:
FAILED_TO_GET_MOR_BY_NAME
-
bpVMutil main: EXIT STATUS 11:
system call failed
-
vmcGetObjDetails for HostRoot
failed with status 14
Thanks,
Jon
