    Been playing around with the restore options along with my VM engineer and we have found that once we remove the SAN transport option from the restore list this now works, my original thought was that the 4 selected transport otions were used in sequence i.e. if one fails then try the other, this is obvioulsy not the way it works.

Yes and this is also a nightmare for environments with firewalls.

 

If anyone else has this issue then I recommend the following as it worked for me:

 

Run the restore from the recovery host that will be doing the restore.

I still get the Pre-Recovery Check error "SAN datastore compatibility: -Failed" but it still restores and powers up fine.

 

Remember if this works then thumbs up the comment.
