Appendix B. Configuring Bus Type Restore Priority

When performing restore of an entire VM that originally resided on a platform other than oVirt KVM, Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV attaches disks with the restored data to the target oVirt KVM VM in a specific order (SATA, VIRTIO SCSI, VIRTIO) by default, taking into account the original disk bus types unless the following limits are exceeded: 5 SATA, 256 VIRTIO SCSI, 256 VIRTIO disks.

You can modify the default bus type restore order. To do that, complete the following steps:

1. Close the Veeam Backup & Replication console.
2. Open a plain text editor (for example, Notepad) as Administrator.
3. In the editor, open the appsettings.json file located in the {plug-in location}\Service folder.

The default location of oVirt KVM plug-in is C:\Program Files\Veeam\Plugins\RHV. However, the location may differ depending on the specified setup settings.

4. Locate the RestoreDefaults configuration section. To change the bus type restore order, update the following parameter value:

5. Save the appsettings.json file.
6. Restart the Veeam KVM Service.
