Error description

ANS2411E Instant Restore/Access of virtual machine 'MYvm' failed with rc =6524 ANS9372E (RC6524) Unable to create the virtual machine to be restored due to an invalid host name, datacenter name, or datastore name. Note: APAR IT12468 matches this APAR but for VMware vSAN environments. While APAR IT12468 provides a testflag for a local fix, that testflag will not work in this case. Initial impact: Medium Products affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive Client version 7.1 on Windows and Linux platforms Note: The Backup-Archive Client is a prerequisite to using the Data Protection for VMware. In Data Protection for VMware environments, the Backup-Archive Client is also known as the data mover. This problem also affects IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware 8.1.0. If you are using Data Protection for VMware 8.1.0, refer to APAR IT20699
Local fix
Run a FULLVM restore rather than Instant Restore
