Operation Manual

 During the ESXi recovery process you can check if the cable is plugged to the vmnicX or not.

After going through all the steps, click OK to start the recovery. Here’s what happens after you

proceed with the recovery:

1. The first HDD (by BIOS order) is used to create ESXi system partitions and then the system will be

rebooted into the ESXi environment.

2. Upon boot-up, the ESXi executes a special script which configures the vSwitches and datastores

according to the settings specified in the ESXi configuration recovery wizard.

3. Acronis vmProtect 8 Agent (Virtual Appliance) is deployed to the newly created datastore. Then,

it executes the recovery of the missing virtual machines from the backup locations specified in

the ESXi configuration recovery wizard. It also scans these backup locations for the source ESXi

host VMs backed up after the ESXi configuration backup and restores these virtual machines.

 A virtual machine is considered “missing”, if it is not detected in any of the datastores currently

recognized by the restored ESXi host.

 The virtual machines are restored to all the detected datastores steadily filling them up and

leaving there at least 10% of the free space.
