Register VM

This step registers the selected VM on a host from a storage recovery location, changes the IP address configuration of the VM, applies the mapping specified for the location, and then powers the VM on.

Note

Before powering a recovered VM on, Orchestrator removes all unused swap (.VSWP) files from the default VM directory. If a custom location is used to store swap files, Orchestrator will not be able to remove them.
