Restore vCenter 6.5 from backup

Post by bonne »

Running Veeam 9.5 and created support case # 02162112

After a failed vCenter server 6.5d update, vCenter server is no longer responsive. I want to restore from backup, but regardless of what I do, Veeam wants to restore via vCenter (which is not there)

When I try to add standalone hosts, I am told that the host is already added, But it is not listed under hosts.

When I try to restore to "another destination", I can select a standalone host, but when I continue, Veeam later tells me that it cannot log into the vCenter.

How to successfully restore vCenter when vCenter is not responding?

Regards, Lars.

I figered it out.. apparently it remembers the IPaddress (which is what the vCenter knows), so when adding a dns name in the hosts file, and using this, it works. Had a lot of VMware issues later, but it is up and semms to be running now.

Thanks.
