Error description
Renaming VM guest filespaces is not supported but remains possible as seen from the 'rename filespace' command documentation page. Once such a filespace is renamed, it should not appear in the Client GUI 'Restore VM' window at all as it is not usable for restore. Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager Client 7.1.1 and higher on Windows and Linux | MDVREGR 7.1.1.0 5698ISMCL 52488 | Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: spectrum protect restore VM wizard filespace renaming RTC 52488 TSM
Local fix
Rename the needed filespace back to its original name to be able to restore the VM guest data from it.
