Standard input for script is a file that contains:
1) Full path to the backed up VM
2) Full restore path
3) Restoration disk format
4) Restored VM Display Name (NEW!)
Reminder: When creating this file on a non-Linux/UNIX system, one may introduce ^M characters that will cause the script to misbehave. To ensure that this does not occur, please create the file on the ESX/ESXi host.
Here is a sample of what the file should look like:
[root@himalaya ~]# cat vms_to_restore
#"<DIRECTORY or .TGZ>;<DATASTORE_TO_RESTORE_TO>;<DISK_FORMAT_TO_RESTORE>;<OPTIONAL_RESTORED_VM_DISPLAY_NAME>"
# DISK_FORMATS
# 1 = zeroedthick
# 2 = 2gbsparse
# 3 = thin
# 4 = eagerzeroedthick
# e.g.
# "/vmfs/volumes/dlgCore-NFS-bigboi.VM-Backups/WILLIAM_BACKUPS/VCAP/VCAP-2009-08-18--1;/vmfs/volumes/himalaya-local-SATA.RE4-GP:Storage;1""/vmfs/volumes/mini-local-datastore-2/backups/VCSA-5.1/VCSA-5.1-2012-12-25_01-30-36;/vmfs/volumes/mini-local-datastore-1;3"
"/vmfs/volumes/mini-local-datastore-2/backups/VCSA-5.1/VCSA-5.1-2012-12-25_01-30-36;/vmfs/volumes/mini-local-datastore-1;1;VCSA-RESTORE"
Comments in the input file is acceptable so long as the intended line is preceded by a #. The above sample VM restore file,
vms_to_restore, describes the following backup:
| VM to restore | Datastore to restore to | VMDK format | Restore VM Name |
| /vmfs/volumes/mini-local-datastore-2/backups/VCSA-5.1/VCSA-5.1-2012-12-25_01-30-36 | /vmfs/volumes/mini-local-datastore-1 | thin | VCSA-5.1 |
| /vmfs/volumes/mini-local-datastore-2/backups/VCSA-5.1/VCSA-5.1-2012-12-25_01-30-36 | /vmfs/volumes/mini-local-datastore- | zeroedthick | VCSA-RESTORE |
Sample Execution:
Perform a dryrun by displaying debug information ( restore will not take place)
