Hello All,
I am having issues performing a restore of a VM Guest back into a failover Hyper-V Cluster.
Current Setup:
DPM 2012 R2
Windows Server 2012 R2 (Physical Server)
DPM is connected to a Tape Library and Dedicated LUN on a SAN for backups
3 Hyper-V Hosts configured with Failover Clustering
I installed the DPM agent on all 3 hosts, performed a backup of a VM Guest which displays "Online\Servername". I deleted the server from the failover cluster then removed from Hyper-V Manager. I then proceeded to perform a restore of the server but it does not give me an option to restore to original location so it can be re-integrated into the failover cluster.
What am I doing wrong here? I am not an expert in Hyper-V so when I looked at the prerequisites for Hyper-V backups of VMs on CSV it stated a VSS Hardware Provider needs to be installed. I didn't setup the VMHosts so I am not sure if or what it is.
I did run vssadmin list providers on one of the hosts so I am assuming I have one?
C:\Windows\system32>vssadmin list providers
vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool
