I have a question/problem with regards to restores. I have successfuly backed up a test VM and then I deleted it from disk. When I attempt to restore it, I get the following error:
=== CLIENT ===
Version=unknown
Build=unknown
OS Name=Windows 2003
OS Arch=x86
OS Version=5.2
=== ERROR ===
com.netapp.nmf.smvi.main.SmviErrorDetailException
=== MESSAGE ===
Error restoring backed up entity
=== DETAILS ===
Could not locate or create an initiator group on storage system "vanna01" for ESX server "192.168.16.65". Please ensure the ESX server has one or more initiators logged into the storage system.
=== CORRECTIVE ACTION ===
null
=== STACK TRACE ===

The ESX host in question is listed in VC as "192.168.16.65"
The Initiator group is called ISCSI-VANVS05
The initator nodename is iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:vanvs05-5ae8d131
The initiator alias is vanvs05.van.davis.ca
The initiator is logged into the storage system
Is there something that is supposed to match up between the host/ip/name used to login via SSH in SMVI and the iGroup that I am not aware of?
Thanks
Adrian
