    Before you perform Instant VM Recovery, check the following prerequisites:

    • If you are recovering a VM to the production network, make sure that the initial VM is powered off to avoid conflicts.
    • The storage system must be added to the backup infrastructure.
    • [For storage systems working over Fibre Channel] To let Veeam Backup & Replication present snapshots of LUNs to the ESX(i) host, you must register the ESX(i) host with a WWN ID on the storage system.
    • [For NetApp storage systems] Depending on the storage type, you may need to install additional licenses on the storage system. For more information, see Required Licenses for NetApp.
    • You must check limitations for Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots. For more information, see Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots.
