Description

Display Name

The selected VMs are displayed.

A display name conflict is highlighted if the provided display name already exists on the destination. For example:

For more information about the hosts with name conflicts, click the exclamation mark. Information about all conflicts appears in the resulting pop-up box.

Note:

In case of duplicate display name, change the highlighted display name.

Retain networks

Retains the existing network settings of all the selected VMs after the recovery.

Note:

You can select individual VMs to retain the networks after the recovery is complete and to power on the VM.

Power on

Powers on all the selected VMs after the recovery.

Note:

You can select individual VMs to be powered on.

Retain tag associations

When this option is selected, NetBackup restores tag associations when it restores the virtual machine. If NetBackup cannot restore one or more of the tag associations, the restore exits with NetBackup status code 1.

If this option is not selected, NetBackup does not restore any tag associations from the backup.

Retain original hardware version

When this option is selected, NetBackup restores the virtual machine with its original hardware version (such as 4). It retains the original version even if the target ESXi server by default uses a later hardware version (such as 7 or 8).

If this option is not selected, the restored virtual machine is converted to the default hardware version that the ESXi server uses.

Add common suffix to all display names

You can add a common suffix to the display names of all the selected VMs. For example, if you add Network1 to the display name VM_Storage_1 and click Add, the display name changes to Network1_VM_Storage_1.

RESET TO ORIGINAL DISPLAY NAME

Resets the VM display names to their original names.
