Step 6. VMware Restore Wizard: Virtual Machine Options

Not displayed if restore destination is Original Location

This page appears for both Instant and Full VM restore. The tabs contain fields populated by default with values from the source VM.

  1. Enter values or accept the default values. The following describes the fields under the tabs:

  • Name

Virtual Machine Name

By default the source VM name displays. You can change this.

Virtual Machine Memory (MB)

By default the source VM memory displays. You can change this.

Start VM after it is created

Select this check box if you want the restored VM to power on automatically. This option is recommended. If you do not power on the VM, a Full restore will be accomplished with cloning rather than storage relocation, resulting in unavailability of the VM until the cloning completes.

  • Resource

Resource Pool

Select from the pull-down list a resource pool for the new VM.

Network

Select from the pull-down list a network for the new VM. The networks that display are those the vCenter supports for the host.

iSCSI Adapter

Select from the pull-down list a software or hardware iSCSI adapter. The adapters that display are those present on the host.

CPU Count

You can change this value. It is not recommended to change it to a value lower than the displayed source value.

  1. Click Next.
