Cause

The vProxy appliances are registered against the Source Protection vCenter server and there are no vProxy appliances registered against the new remote target vCenter server.

  3. Add the vProxy appliance in the NMC and select the new target vCenter server or ESXi host.
  4. Monitor for the NMC log entries for the registration completion.
  5. Test the full VM or IA restore in the environment.
