Hi Leif, Can you try setting the -vmname option as a temporary workaround? Your scenario reminds me of apar IT01943. If I recall correctly, -vmname (with the same vm name) provided a workaround too. If they are related, it may be worth an attempt.
using your command as example, add -vmname="xxxx01"... original: dsmc restore vm "xxxx01:-vmdk=Hard Disk 2 " -datacenter=differentdatacenter -host=localhost -datastore=lokalstore -optfile=dsm.opt -asnode=xxxxx try this: dsmc restore vm "xxxx01:-vmdk=Hard Disk 2 " -vmname="xxxx01" -datacenter=differentdatacenter -host=localhost -datastore=lokalstore -optfile=dsm.opt -asnode=xxxxx Regards, Omar ============================================================================= Hi Any one know, if it is possible to restore a vm fra TSM for VE and not restore all vmdk's I am doing a restore on another vcenter, and would like to just restore the VM system drive and no data drives, but the command like this won't work dsmc restore vm "xxxx01:-vmdk=Hard Disk 2 " -datacenter=differentdatacenter -host=localhost -datastore=lokalstore -optfile=dsm.opt -asnode=xxxxx but I get ANS9372E Unable to create the virtual machine to be restored due to an invalid host name, datacenter name, or datastore name.
