Creating custom configurations
When creating new client configuration, you can either copy an existing client configuration or a Point-in-time (PIT) configuration policy to have PIT VM creation. Customized configuration creation is required for the following:
Create a copy configuration: You can copy existing client configuration for conversion customizing original configuration. You can customize client properties viz. RAM size, allocated CPU units, disks to be created on VM, and network parameters.
This customization provision helps in some cases like you may not want to recover all original disks or volumes on VM. In this case, you can mark unwanted disks as restricted to avoid creating VM conversion process create corresponding virtual disk/s during VM creation.
Note:
Make sure that you are not restricting OS disk/s. Otherwise created VM will not boot.
Point-in-time (PIT) VM creation from PIT backup: You can retrieve PIT configuration for a backup image.You can also retrieve the PIT configuration and copy it from the NetBackup web UI.
