About recovering AHV VMs from the images that are backed up using NetBackup versions 8.1, 8.1.1, or 8.1.2
Use the policy to recover images from versions 8.1, 8.1.1, or 8.1.2.
The pre-recovery validations are supported only from the NetBackup Administration Console.
The following pre-recovery validations are not supported for images that are backed up using the policy:
Unique or duplicate VM UUID on the AHV cluster
Unique or duplicate MAC address
Network UUID exists on the cluster
Container size validations
However, the validations are done once the
metadata.jsonfile is restored. Themetadata.jsonfile is the second entry in the restore files, hence the validations are slightly delayed.For the backup images that are taken using NetBackup earlier than 8.2, root disk information was not captured in
metadata.json. If the boot disk is not the first disk, set the first disk using Nutanix Prism and restart the VM.The VM UUID value in the Restore Wizard because it is not captured for backups done using BigData policy.
