[FEATURE REQUEST] FLR into vCloud Director

[dunkyb]

Hi,

I have an open FR (Internal FR number 03554526) but am logging it here as suggested in order to be kept up to date on the progress.

This FR covers the ability to be able to restore files directly from the 'otheros' FLR appliance directly into a VM connected to a private vCloud Director orgNetwork.
Sergey Makarets of the SP support team has devised a manual method for doing this by editing the LiveCD.tpl file and attaching a second vNIC to the appliance, directly connected to a portID on the dvSwitch/dvPortGroup
that the target VM is connected to. This is a manual process to configure and also make changes to arptables and using ifconfig to bring up the interface. It would be beneficial to cloud service providers
to have a process automated to allow file level recovery directly into a private cloud vDC.

Kind regards,
Duncan
