When restoring an Azure VM from Commvault using snapshot restore, where the disk names are getting changed. We want to prevent this without changing the disk name. Our infrastructure uses Terraform tool which expect resources to adhere to a predefined naming convention.. In the terraform next execution, If the disk name is changed after restore. Terraform automation will remove the restored disk and create a new empty one as per the standard defined.

Can you please suggest a solution to prevent disk name changes during the restore process?

When you say snapshot restore, do you mean IntelliSnap? I’m not a guru on this topic but I wonder if its not possible as it may need to preserve the original disks so as to keep the original snapshot.

(this got me thinking)

Are you performing a revert, out of place or in-place restore?

@Damian Andre  It is not a IntelliSnap backup and We are performing out of place restore.

We shouldn’t see this behavior with an in-place restore of an Azure instance, but as you’re standing, with an out-of-place restore it will rename the disks.
