Hi All,
I performed a couple of test restores of VMware VM's using the OnCommand Host 1.0 plugin on my ESX 4.1 environment. On both restores, the VM was restored to the correct datastore, but was not registered with vSphere. Not a major deal as I was able to mannually register and start the VM mysefl. In the restore request, I had told the software to power the VM on for me. In the details of the job I see this error:
OnCommandHSVMware: hsRestore1 2ca03ff76002d7ad2c10f884a8f0e94f: Failed to load reference to virtual machine NOCWKS3. Cannot determine if it should be powered off.
Any ideas why the error and how to resolve this problem so that VM's are automatically registered? It's not like this is something that I'll be doing every day, but I'm trying to make this as idiot proof as possible so that when I turn the process over to less experience jr. admins, I don't get woken up at 3AM for something stupid like this.
Thanks
Michael
