Restore VM Windows 2012 wouldn't boot

 Dears,

I'm facing a problem when I restore a Windows 2012 VM. The restore finished successfully, but the VM will not boot. Joined the screenshot.

I did the following :

  • Check the VSS is running
  • I restart the VM → the VM boot normaly
  • I backed up the VM and restore it after it was restarted. → the same problem.
  • I clone the VM and backed up the clone and restore it. → the restore of the cloned VM boot normally!
  • I update the OS → didn’t fix the problem

VMwre Version : 5.0
Netbackup version : 7.7.3 on Redhat Linux 6.8

Does any one have a hint on how to fix or troubleshoot this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Which Policy type did you use for the backup?
Can you take screenshots of the steps that you followed for the restore and post here?

Does not reboot as in "stop message" or "screen remain black"  or somthing else ?

Hi Marianne,

I'm using VMware Policy.

As you asked, you can find the requested screenshots in the attachement.

PS: We already try to restore this VM in the past and it worked fin then.

Thanks in advance.

"we already try to restore this VM in the past and it worked fin then" - check if the original vm has a disk where the provisioned space has a lot of decimals. (see attache picture); also, try to restore the vm but before powering it on check the provisioned space.

Hi Team,

I will test this on Sunday and give you the result.

For the disk space, it size is 2TB.

Thank you for your guidance.
