The Restore process of restoring to a RP or vApp will proceed successfully. However, when the VM is powered ON, the ESX Server will show an error as attached.</p> <h3 data-id="cause">Cause</h3> <p>This happens because the RP to which the VM is restored to might not have the resources (RAM and CPU) required for powering ON the VM.</p> <h3 data-id="resolution">Resolution</h3> <p>On the ESX Server, using the vSphere Client, drag and drop the VM on the ESX Server itself i.e. move the VM from the RP or vApp to the ESX Server. Power ON the VM now and it will come up as intended.</p> <h3 data-id="third-party-sources">Third-Party Sources</h3> <p>N/A</p> <p> </p> </article> </main>
