Post-restoration tasks
During a restore operation, the appliance reconciles the data in the backup file with the current state of the managed environment. There are some discrepancies that a restore operation cannot resolve automatically; for example, if servers were added after the backup file was created. The network configuration on these servers is unknown to the appliance after a restore and could result in duplicate MAC addresses and World-Wide Names (WWNs), as a result.
After a restore operation completes, you must manually resolve any remaining alerts and add these servers back into the appliance to eliminate the risk of duplicate IDs. You must also perform manual cleanup of hardware (servers, interconnects, and enclosures) if server profiles are forcibly unassigned or the hardware is forcibly removed without first being unconfigured.
