IT29965: UNABLE TO RESTORE A VIRTUAL MACHINE VIA "ESX HOST IF VCENTER IS DOWN" OPTION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The restore via option "ESX host if vCenter is down" cannot
  be started after going through the restore wizard. In the
  wizard, after selecting existing user for ESX host and clicking
  save, the Next button is greyed out. Once clicking Back, then
  Next again, the Next button is enabled this time. However, when
  the wizard is complete, there is no finish or submit button
  on the last summary screen, so restore cannot be triggered.
