Restore

The Nutanix-AHV plugin restores data as a new guest VM.

The restore is analog to the backup process and goes through the following steps for each successive snapshot of the guest VM to be restored.

• Receive configuration metadata file.

• Receive two lists: one for the changed regions and another for zeroed regions.

• Receive the raw disk data file(s).

• Add a new virtual disk on the SCSI bus of the proxy VM (hotadd).

• Write all data regions back onto the disk(s).

• Once all disks have been restored create a new guest VM from the metadata configuration file

• Detach all restored disks from the proxy VM.

• Move all restored disks from proxy VM to the freshly restored guest VM.
