Hi Steven,
So, I just tested this in my lab today before doing this migration for a customer and hit a "possible" problem. Here is what I did:
1. Installed SnapCenter 4.0
2. Added my two SVMs to SnapCenter
3. Installed SnapCenter Plugin for VMware vSphere (I installed it to the same Windows host running the VSC)
4. Confirmed both the VSC and SnapCentre Plug-Ins are available in vSphere
5. Ran the SVC-Import batch file with the command:
SCV-Import.bat all -scHost (SnapCenter Server IP) -scUser (Domain\Username) -scvHost (IP of the VSC and SnapCenter Plugin Host) -vCenterIPAddress (vCenter IP) -vCenterUser administrator@vsphere.local
6. The import was successful.
7. Suspended the VSC Backup Jobs
8. Stopped the VSC windows services on the VSC Server
In the vSphere Client I can see the SnapCenter Plugin. It has my resource groups and policies imported. However, how can I restore the backups created in VSC from the SnapCenter Plugin?
When I right-click a datastore and select "Mount Backup" I get an error that no backups are available.
I ran a backup job using the SnapCenter Plugin and I can now see that backup to restore from, but none of the VSC backups.
To confirm, I started the VSC windows services again and logged back into the vSphere Web Client. Using the VSC plugin I can see the backups that VSC created (obviously being pulled from VSC's job history) and in the SnapCenter Plugin I can see the backup I created after the import.
So, the question is, should I be able to see the VSC backups in the SnapCenter Plugin and how can I access them to perform restores after I unregister and remove VSC?
Thanks again, your help has been fantastic.
