Challenge
1. Full VM restore to vCenter Datacenter, different from original VM Datacenter, VM was running under.
2. Name of recovering VM coincide with existing VM in production.
Cause
Solution
Workaround: While performing full VM restore, please make sure unique name for the VM is specified, thus it will not coincide with the name of one of existing production VMs. Please, make sure unique VM name is specified in the restore wizard (step “Folder”) if you are willing to recover VM from another Datacenter and there is a chance of coinciding VM names.
