Datacenter
Specifies the target location of the data center that will contain the restored machine data.
Use this option on
vm restore commands.
If folders are used within virtual center to organize datacenters, then the folder name needs to be included in the datacenter specification, separated by a slash.
If you are restoring through a ESX server rather than a virtual center, the -datacenter=ha-datacenter option should be used.
The default target location is the datacenter which the virtual machine was stored at the time of backup.
Examples
Restore a virtual machine to USEast
datacenter which is organizaed under a folder named Production in
the virtual center.
dsmc restore vm my_vm -datacenter=Production/USEast Restore
a virtual machine backup taken from a virtual center, but using a
ESX server at the time of restore.
restore vm my_vm -datacenter=ha-datacenter Restore
the virtual machine into the USWest datacenter.
restore vm my_vm -datacenter=USWEst
