mccli backup restore throws - error VMware Vm restore

According to mccli command you are running a restore and not a backup as you mentioned, I suppose it is a typo.

1) On first command: plugin id is wrong and you didn't set restore-vm-to param.

2) On second command: plugin id is wrong and you didn't set restore-vm-to param.

What kind of restore do you want to run? to new or original VM?

If it is restore to original VM I would try something like:

mccli backup restore --name=/10.136.84.2/VirtualMachines/vropsrh6561-d --labelnum=3 --plugin=3016 --restore-vm-to=original

or

mccli backup restore --name=/10.136.84.2/VirtualMachines/vropsrh6561-d_UBEF80CAvSoTkeHvoLxFGg --labelnum=3 --plugin=3016 --restore-vm-to=original

Thanks arturo,

I am trying to restore a redhat 6.5 vm to its original location. So I use option 1 given above. But I am getting the following error. What plugin number should i use for it?

admin@vcopsqe-vdp-01:~/>: mccli backup restore --name=/10.136.84.2/VirtualMachines/vropsrh6561-d --labelNum=2 --plugin=3016 --restore-vm-to=original

I have one more question. I have created a a group called 'SimpleGroup' now I try to add a client present in VCenter to this group by using this command:

mccli group add-client --client-name=/10.137.84.3/VirtualMachines/tinycentos --name=10.137.84.3/VirtualMachines/SimpleGroup

1,22236,Client does not exist.

I keep on getting the error. The client exists on this VCenter.

Any idea?

I would try to list all available clients on that domain to check if client name is correct:

mccli client show --domain==/10.137.84.3/VirtualMachines --recursive

Hello where can I find avamar 6.1 mccli docs? The above restore command works, but I cant add my virtual amchines to the group. I keep on getting the following error:

admin@vcops:~/>: mccli group add-client  --name=/10.137.84.3/VirtualMachines/LinuxGroup --client-name="vropsmanager6.1"

1,22236,Client does not exist.

Are there some specific Os types that I could add, for example I can add a win2k12 Vm to this group but not a linux VM.

I've got the same behavior here, any luck with it?

Same here, any answer?

>: mccli group add-client --domain=/vcenter.domain.com/VirtualMachines --name="POLICY_NAME" --client-domain=/vcenter.domain.com/VirtualMachines --client-name=VMTOBAKCUP

1,22236,Client does not exist.

The VM "VMTOBAKCUP" does exist and is pingable
