Data storage list when recovering to a virtual machine

Thread solved

Hello,

It's my client's problem.

I selected the device and clicked the restore button to restore the virtual machine.

Recovery target: virtual machine
Target machine: give it a name and choose the 172.20.1.45 host
After that, click on the data store and I will only see the local storage location.
(If normal, I should see all other storage locations as well.)

So I changed the host of the target machine for testing.

Recovery target: virtual machine
Target machine: give it a name and choose the 172.20.1.106 host
After that click on the data store and I will see all the storage locations.

Most of the time when I selected a different host, only the local repository was shown, or only a part of the repository appeared in the list.

And if I select the same host again after a few minutes (for example : 172.20.1.45) I may see a list of some repositories.
(On the contrary, there may be cases where all storages other than the local storage disappear when they were viewed a few minutes ago and then selected again.)

What should I do to fix this problem?

Hello Lemoning,

thank you for posting this question on Acronis forums!

It is a normal situation: you see the list of backup locations that are accessible from the host that you select. That means that the 172.20.1.106 host has access to all backup locations but some of these locations are not accessible from other hosts.

Hello, Maria

But it is fixed and not displayed.
Initially, all data stores were shown on host 172.20.1.106, but
When you select it again after a few minutes, only a portion of the data store is displayed.

172.20.1.45 also likewise,
Initially, some data stores were shown,
When you select it again after a few minutes, you may find that all data stores are displayed.

What is the problem?

Hello Lemoning.

If you use a cloud-based Management Console, then the next time you switch to a previously shown host you see the datastores that are saved in your web browser cash.

As a workaround please stick with datastores that you need for restoring and do not change them.

If you wish to investigate this peculiarity, please open a case with Acronis Support Team.
