Sound like you are trying to overwrite a VM. Restore it to a new name insted

Please also refer to the VMware admin guide page 148 of how to overwrite a existing VM when restoring.

Please provide us more details - we do not have a lot to work with.

Are the VMware Vcenter permission is set correctly ?

Hi  All,

 

Issue resolved. I changed the name while doing recovery to different name like: <vm_restored1> and it worked fine.
