Emergency Recovery

The next virtual machine recovery option available in the NMC Recovery wizard is an Emergency Recovery. An Emergency Recovery is required when you need to restore the virtual machine to an ESXi host.

Emergency Recovery requires a vProxy set up on the ESXi host prior to running the recovery.

Additionally, ensure that you disconnect the ESXi host from the vCenter server.

NOTE:During an Emergency Recovery, the vProxy gets associated with the ESXi host and is unavailable for other operations on the vCenter server. Wait until the recovery completes before initiating any other operations on the vProxy.
To complete the Recovery wizard with the Emergency Recovery method, perform the following:
  1. In the Select the Virtual Machine Recovery Method page:
    1. Select Emergency Recovery.
    2. Click Next.
  2. In the Configure the Emergency Recovery page:
    1. Specify the target ESXi server in the vCenter environment.
    2. Click Connect.
    Figure 1. Configure the Emergency Recovery
    Configure the Emergency Recovery page
    The Proxy Selection and Recovery Data panes get populated with the ESXi server details.
  3. In the Proxy Selection pane, if a proxy is not discovered, add a new proxy which is deployed in vCenter but not added to NetWorker.
  4. For the disks in the Recovery Data pane:
    1. Select a datastore.
    2. Optionally, select the Power on virtual machine and Reconnect to network options.
    3. Click Next.
  5. In the Select Alternate Recovery Sources page:
    1. Select the original disk backup, or a clone copy if one is available.
    2. If recovering from a clone that is not on a Data Domain device, or recovering from a Data Domain Cloud Tier device, specify the staging pool.
  6. In the Perform the Recovery page:
    1. Specify a name for the recovery and check the summary at the bottom of the page to ensure all the details are correct.
    2. Click Run Recovery.
The Check the Recovery Results page will display a progress bar with the duration of the recovery, and a log file entry when the Emergency Recovery is complete.
NOTE:The progress bar may not update correctly when you perform an Emergency Recovery directly to the ESXi host.
