14.2.3 Recovering an entire virtual machine
To recover an entire virtual machine from the snap datastore:
1. Browse to the virtual machine configuration file (*.vmx).
2. Right-click the file and select Register VM.
3. Use the wizard to add the virtual machine into inventory.
Caution: To prevent name or IP address conflicts when powering on the newly recovered virtual machine,
power off or use an isolated network or private vSwitch.
Note: Once the virtual machine has been recovered, it can be migrated back to the original datastore using
Storage vMotion.
