When I try to make a complete restore of a openstack’s instance, the response is : "errorMessage": "The particular hypervisor restore is not supported in API",

Commserv version is : 11 SP36

The request is : 

POST {{serverurl}}/V4/vm/the-correct-guid/restore
accept: application/json
content-type: application/json
Authtoken: {{auth_token}}

{
  "powerOnVmAfterRestore": true,
  "overwriteVM": true,
  "inPlaceRestore": true,
  "fromtime": "2026-05-04T23:30:36",
  "totime": "2026-05-04T23:36:26",
  "vmDestinationInfo": {
    "openstack": {
    "openstackInstanceInfoList" : [
        {
           "sourceInstanceGuid" : "the-correct-guid",
           "InstanceName" : "realname"
        }
       ]
    }
   }

 

This instance is backuped successfully, and I can ask for details:

GET {{serverurl}}/v4/virtualmachines/the-correct-guid
accept: application/json
Authtoken: {{auth_token}}

{
  "vmDetails": {
    "displayName": "realname",
    "summary": {
      "hypervisor": {
        "id": 747,
        "name": "hypervisorname"
      },
      "vmGroup": {
        "id": 931,
        "name": "Test-OpenStack"
      },
      "host": "nova",
      "os": "Any",
      "vendor": "OPENSTACK",
      "vmSize": 53687091200,

Hi ​@mjc  

 

VM restores using V4 REST API is not supported for OpenStack in SP36. It is supported only from SP40 onwards. 

 

VM Restore Operation | Commvault®
