Unable to restore VM using VADP proxy
- I am trying to restore a backup of a virtual machine into a new Virtual Center setup. .
- .
- The backup was made with a virtual VADP Proxy running NetWorker 8.1.1.2 on Windows Server 2008R2. The restore I'm trying is from a vritual VADP Proxy running NetWorker 8.1.1.2 on Windows Server 2008R2. .
- The original backup was done through the backup server. .
- The VM was running on ESX 5.5. The target ESX is running ESX 5.5. This target is one of two new ESX hosts in a separate VC.
- When i used the “save set restore” option ,unable to restore VM using VADP proxy。.

Hi,
Have a look at the 'Recommendations and Considerations' for Image level recovery of a full VM in the NetWorker VMware Integration Guide page 125 to be sure that you have everything setup the way it has to be for this to work. Check also that your name resolution is working between vCenter, ESX, NetWorker server and proxy.
If it still fails, copy here the full error message you are getting and we'll see if we can figure out what might be the problem.

Hi,
This doesn't tell us what caused the recover failure. You could check the hostd.log and networkr.raw to see if there is any further info there. Also, try changing the transport mode to nbd which will rule out the possibility that it's the hotadd that's causing the problem.

Does the VMWare proxy account have permissions to register a new VM on the target?
VADP Recovery Privileges:
Session
Global
Tasks
Setting Privileges Global
Resource
Datastore
Virtual machine>Inventory
Virtual machine>Configuration
These configuration only account for recovery settings.
Hope this helps.

I have the same problem. For many of my VMs, the restore works just fine but for a handful it errors out just like the error message you posted, bar the non-english text.
Since I can restore other VMs, this leads me to the conclusion that I indeed have the correct privileges, there are no firewalls blocking communication and there is nothing systematically wrong with my setup.
I'm currently engaged with support in this matter.I will post any resolution they may come up with,

I may have found the issue. Can you please check in Virtual Center, for the VM(s) in question, the Annotations -> Notes free text field? Do you have any special or non-English characters there?
