Restoring vCenter with vDR to ESXi

[johnswb]

Ok, I've looked and looked, and I know I can't be the first to try this.  Here goes.  I backed up all my VM's on the single ESXi host I have running to a NAS device with vDR.  I've moved my ESXi (flash card) do a different server with the same specs.  Now I'm trying to restore the VM's to the local storage on the ESXi host.  vCenter is a VM which is not running until I can get it restored. 

When I try and connect to the vDR appliance I get the following error.

I've rebooted the appliance and I've edited the /etc/host file with the ESXi host info.  I have not redeployed the appliance yet.  Will do that now and post the results. 

If anyone has any insight please do tell and thanks.

I think I can do that.

Thanks.

I've created a documentation on the problem I was having and what I did to fix it.  Hope this helps others in the future.

Restoring vCenter with vDR to a standalone ESXi host.

I would also create a document (Link just below create a discussion) and include the PDF.

Excellent job and the Community thanks you very much.:smileycool:

You became a sticky at the top of the vDR discussion list.
