Hi All,
I am planning to test DR for our vCenter server 5.1.
Currently my Netbakup software backups all the VMs including vCenter VM. To test DR I am planning to shut down original vCenter VM then restore vCenter from backup, Netbackup will restore vCenter VM to ESXi 5.1 host data-store directly. I am planning to power on vCenter by connecting directly to ESXi 5.1 host. Test the vCenter that everything is working and then shut down restored Vcenter server and bring back old vCenter server.
Will his work? I am worried what will be side effects of bringing original vCenter server?
