OLVM/RHV restore parameters

Hi All,

I’m running 11.40.42 version and while restoring VM to OLVM 4.4.10.7 (RHV) I’ve encounter two issues:

  • target VLAN has not been set correctly. Orginal VLAN has been preserved. 
  • cross-hypervisor restore failed due to problems with attaching disk to VM. It looks like new VM does have Other OS type set instead of Oracle Linux which prevents attaching disk in SCSI mode. I’ve set additional attribute to not delete disk after failed restore and was able to create VM, attach disk and start VM

I’m wondering if those two issues are releated and commvault has problems with restoring proper metadata? Anyone encounter similar issues?

Hi ​@pacynka ,

Good day!

Can you please update on the source hypervisor.

I couldn't see the cross restore ability to OLVM is not supported except from OVM

Hi,

you are correct, source hypervisor (for issue 2) is OVM with Oracle Linux 6 as source VM. Issue with changing VLAN was related to out-of-place restore on OLVM only.

Hi ​@pacynka ,

On the OOP restore try to select network option during restore and select the VLAN

https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/software/restoring_full_red_hat_virtualization_rhev_vms.html#:~:text=Network%3A%20Select%20a%20network%20connection%20that%20is%20available%20at%20the%20destination%2C%20or%20select%20Automatic.

Regarding the cross restore we need to review logs and source machine config | can you raise a case ?

Regards,

This is the option I’m reffering to. Setting network connetion does nothing, and restore preserve orginal VLAN settings. 

As for cross restore - this is PoC environment so we would need to go via CommVault Pre-sales team not support directly.
