Administrator Guide

7 In the VMM console, shut down the new VM.
8 Next, you must remove the VHDs of the newly-created VM, and add the VHDs that you recovered in the production share earlier in
this procedure.
a Get the VM location by running the following command:
Get-SCVirtualMachine-Name <VMName> | select Location
b In the VMM console, in the VMs and Services workspace, right-click the VM, click Properties, and then click the Hardware
Conguration tab.
c Remove all the current VHDs.
d Copy all the VHDs that you recovered earlier to the location you obtained in step 8a.
e If there are dierencing disk VHDs, copy the VHDs with the correct folder hierarchy.
For example, there is a child VHD at the following path: \\s20sfs.contoso.com\Share01\asd
\DPM_9-15-2015_8.39.7\Recovered_At_9-15-2015_10.1.25\s20sfs-Share01-Vol\NewVM1\child.vhdx
There is a parent VHD at the following path: \\s20sfs.contoso.com\Share01\asd
\DPM_9-15-2015_8.39.7\Recovered_At_9-15-2015_10.1.25\s20sfs-Share01-Vol\Parent1.vhdx
Compare the paths, and look for where the path is not the same (bold in the examples). Copy the uncommon content to the
location that you obtained in step 8a. In this example, you would copy the NewVM1 folder (and its contents) and Parent1.vhdx.
f If there is no dierencing disk VHD, add all the VHDs to the VM. If there is a dierencing disk VHD, add only the child VHD.
9 Start the VM.
You do not have to perform a consistency check because this is a completely new VM. It will be protected separately by DPM during
the next run of the Protect-TenantVMs runbook. The old VM recovery points will be deleted automatically after they reach retention
range limits.
Recovering a datasource to an alternate DPM server
If a DPM server is unavailable and cannot be recovered, you can recover datasources (VMs or databases) that were protected by that
DPM server to a working DPM server from Azure Backup.
1 In the Azure portal, click Recovery Services, and then click the backup vault.
2 Click Download vault credentials, and download your vault credentials to a location on the Console VM.
Figure 27. Download vault credentials
3 In the DPM Administrator console, in the Recovery workspace, click Add External DPM on the ribbon.
