Hello,I was provided with the commvault system by the company I work for. I was left alone, other administrators who dealt with it left. My question may be simple, but it would speed up my work a bit, especially since it worked before. Every week I restore virtual machines (HYPER-V) to a server that is only used to restore these virtual machines, and an additional backup which is then kept on a server where the network is disconnected. The screenshot shows how I do it and I have to select "Destination Client". The server where I want to perform this restore is not visible on the list, so I have to add the server and the user to be able to connect and perform this restore, but I do it for several machines and I have to enter this server manually each time, and it used to be displayed on the list .How to make the server that wants restores appear on the list automatically. My target server settings are similar to other servers. 
The screenshots show the list where I want to place the target server for the restorer.

Typically, the restore lists is comprised of machines that exist within CommVault and have the corresponding agent installed. Are you restoring to another Hyper V host? Does it have the Virtaul Server Agent installed on it? What’s the difference between it and the other machines that are actuall in the list?

For instance, if you were doing file level restores, you’d only see VMs in the list that have the file system iDA installed. 


Yes i restore VMs to another Hyper-V host.

VSA is installed.

Machines on the list have the same settings as the machine that is not on the list.

 

The screenshot show which agents are installed, they are the same as on other servers.

I making full VM restore.


Mmmm strange issue. So, after you add it it does function properly? Does the restore complete successfully? Did you make any changes to the environment? Have you gone through the logs?
