I would like to know what others have tried to resolve this problem in AWS.  I have already tried to documentation Commvault support provided and made changes to the Role in AWS.

Sorry!  I should also add the following details that may help me get a few solutions.  The restore is running and landing on the MA I have in cloud. When it’s time to import the restore to the bucket that’s the part that fails.

Thanks for the question!

I know you read the documentation regarding the Role in AWS, want to be sure you saw this as well.  If the VSA proxy used for a restore is an Amazon instance, the proxy and the destination instance for the restore must be in the same zone. https://documentation.commvault.com/commvault/v11_sp20/article?p=30999.htm

I assumed you followed the instruction in BOL here to create the vmimport role yes?

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.21/essential/108828_creating_vmimport_role.html

Its important to follow step 4 which as the permission XML and step 5 to apply it.  Did step 5 throw an error?

Okay so I manged to get past the VMimport error mentioned above.  Now my problem is I have several VM’s restored in AWS and we can’t connect any of them to the network. I’m being told the “ OS is blowing up”  I don’t know what that means.  Please reply with a few key areas to look for errors.
