Additional information about the rename file
You can specify destination storage container for all the disks or for some specific list of disks.
If you do not specify a destination storage container for one of the disks, then that disk is restored to the original location.
If you specify a destination storage container for a non-existing or invalid disk, the VM restore fails.
For a windows backup host, you must add an empty line (carriage return) after all the rename file entries.
Create or modify the rename file in the /usr/openv/tmp
directory for the following scenarios:
Recover the VM to an alternate container
Recover the VM to the same or an alternate container with a modified VM name
If the rename file is not available, then you must create it and save it as rename.txt
on the NetBackup primary server.
To set the alternate location or modify the configuration, add the following lines in the rename file in the given format:
Scenario | Line to add in the rename file |
---|---|
Change Virtual Machine Name | change vmname to newVMname |
Recover the virtual machine to a different AHV container | change /<original_container1>/<disk_uuid1> to /<alternate_container1> |
The following rename.txt
lets you change the VM name.
change vmname to newVMname
After making the required changes in the rename file, you can run the bprestore command.
