VM Snapshot restore
I'm testing snapshoting VM's and have run into a problem restoring. I'm currently testing on standalone but will be using CSV snapshots in the future. Snapshots are taken correctly but when trying to restore receive the following error in ASM, Restore failed. Exception from HRESULT: 0xEFFF0029. I also see the following in the event log;
Cannot load a virtual machine configuration: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002) (Virtual machine ID E6A1283D-456C-4E19-A33F-563835467A97)
Failed to register the configuration file 'E:\{systemname]\Virtual Machines\E6A1283D-456C-4E19-A33F-563835467A97.xml': The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002). (Virtual machine ID E6A1283D-456C-4E19-A33F-563835467A97)
One or more errors occurred while restoring the virtual machine from backup. The virtual machine might not have registered or it might not start. (Virtual machine ID E6A1283D-456C-4E19-A33F-563835467A97)
Any help welcome,
James

I see the problem now but not sure what's going on. There are three VM's on the volume. I created a Collection, included all three and created snapshot. Looking at the details for the snapshot, I can see the xml files are correct on the two I did not try to restore but the other, listed above, is not the same.The error from the event log is correct, the xml file ASM is trying to restore does not exist. I'm going to see what happens when I try to restore one of the other VM's.

This usually happens when you do a "Selective Restore"...
During the restore, a temp clone of the snapshot is made and this temp clone is assigned by default a chap username.
It looks like the error "Exception from HRESULT: 0xEFFF0029" is triggered because of incorrect Chap authentication.
Example of ASM logs:
login to target "iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-af1ff6-32867e2cf-952a032fa8c525c0-csvdisk1-temp-clone-2013:10:14-15:44:25.338" for CHAP user "TheUsername" failed with 0xefff0029
�
Please check if you have the same Chap user set for the volume and for the Win iSCSI initiator.
