Creating or modifying the rename file
Create or modify the rename file in the /usr/openv/tmp directory for the following scenarios:
Recover the VM to an alternate container
Recover the VM to the same or an alternate container with a modified VM name
For additional information, See Planning the recovery of a Nutanix AHV VM.
If the rename file is not available, then you must create it and save it as rename.txt on the NetBackup master server.
To set the alternate location or modify the configuration, add the following lines in the rename file in the given format:
Scenario | Line to add in the rename file |
|---|---|
Change Virtual Machine Name | change vmname to newVMname |
Recover the virtual machine to a different AHV container | change /<original_container1>/<disk_uuid1> to /<alternate_container1> |
The following rename.txt lets you change the VM name.
change vmname to newVMname
After making the required changes in the rename file, you can run the bprestore command. For more information, See Using the command line to recover Nutanix AHV virtual machines for Hypervisor policy.
