VM disks not displayed due to discovery level
After you restore a VM from backup copy, the VM disks are not displayed in the Volumes tab of the Virtual machine details page. The CloudPoint server's level discovery is not able to map the virtual machine disks with the virtual machine because it requires deep discovery at the configuration level.
Workaround:
Run deep discovery manually. Select a configuration for the provider and click . Alternatively, you can wait for a periodic autodiscovery to run, which performs deep discovery.
