2. If the commands succeed, restart the VMs.
To restore a pool with all hosts failed
1. Run the command:
xe pool-restore-database file-name=<backup>
Warning:
This command will only succeed if the target machine has an appropriate number of
appropriately named NICs.
2. If the target machine has a different view of the storage (for example, a block-mirror with a different IP
address) than the original machine, modify the storage configuration using the pbd-destroy command and
then the pbd-create command to recreate storage configurations. See the section called “PBD Commands”
for documentation of these commands.
3. If you have created a new storage configuration, use pbd-plug or Storage > Repair Storage Repository menu
item in XenCenter to use the new configuration.
4. Restart all VMs.
To restore a VM when VM storage is not available
1. Run the command:
xe vm-import filename=<backup> metadata=true
2. If the metadata import fails, run the command:
xe vm-import filename=<backup> metadata=true --force
This command will attempt to restore the VM metadata on a 'best effort' basis.
3. Restart all VMs.
