Start-VBRInstantRecovery : Host 10.**.**.** was not found in heirarchy

[Tarandeep]

I have been trying to run instant recovery from powershell.
I have been getting this error: Host 10.**.**.** was not found in the hierarchy
Veeam version 11

Hello,
it's hard to say what went wrong without information about the script... looks like the server was not found (Get-VBRServer). Pasting the script would help to get better answers.

Helpcenter has examples here

Best regards,
Hannes

I can find the server with get-vbrserver command.

here is the script

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRJob -Name "Job name"
$backup = $job.getLastBackup()
$devices = $backup.GetObjectOibsAll()
$restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup -ObjectId $devices[1].ObjId
Start-VBRInstantRecovery -RestorePoint $restorepoint[0] -Server 10.200.0.200

Hi Tarandeep,

>I can find the server with get-vbrserver command.

You need to fix this first then. If the cmdlet cannot resolve it, then likely it means just that: Veeam isn't sure which host this is. Copy the Host name from the UI exactly as it shows and try it with Get-VBRServer -Name.

Else, run Get-VBRServer without any arguments and see if it shows in the list. If not, then you need to check why.

As Hannes said, server object should be retrieved, so instead of <string> feed Start... with <CHost> object.

Code: Select all

$server = Get-VBRServer -Type ESXi -Name server.name.exactly.as.added.to.vbr.console.local
Start-VBRInstantRecovery -RestorePoint $restorepoint[0] -Server $server

/Cheers!

Hi Tarandeep,

Adding to the replies above, I just wanted to highlight that most of the parameters across the cmdlets we have, which accept objects of precise types, cannot convert string values to objects of needed types. You have to get these objects directly first.

Thanks,
Oleg

Hi Oleg,
Server that I am looking is available in the list obtained from Get-VBRServer.
I also tried to use the server object itself. But it does not work. It gives same error

[Egor Yakovlev]

"Host not found in hierarchy" means that Get-Server failed to find correct entry.
Make sure you are searching -Name exactly as it is listed in VBR UI(server name or IP address, with domain suffix or without it, etc...)
$server should return a single esxi host object, not a list.
