VSphere VM instant recovery to Proxmox - no storages selectable

[mkretzer]

Hello,

currently we are migrating some VMs from VSphere to Proxmox. This works perfectly via normal restore (thanks to 13.1) but fails with instant recovery - when we are in the "chose storage" dialog there is no storage visible at all, no matter if we select a CEPH-backed host or a host with shared FC storage.

Is this currently a limitation when restoring VSphere VMs?

Hi Markus,

I don't see any such limitation in the supported workloads or the Storage section of the User Guide specifically relating to VMware VMs, so open a Support Case and let Veeam Support review the situation.

Will do!

Hi,
I noticed the same issue.
We have no file based storage set up to host virtual machines, just for snippets, templates and ISO files.
My assumption is, that instant recovery requires a file based final destination, as itself is probably emulating qcow2 during instant recovery and is not able to migrate to raw.
Was perchance one of the available storages a file based storage?
We had not yet time, to test this assumption.

Cheers
