Protection domain restore | Nutanix Community

If restore from protection domain snapshot at remote site, SID will change the windows 2016 server or do we need to run the sysprep to change the sid?

As far as I know, there is no automatic SID change when restoring from a  PD. I don’t think you want to in normal circumstances as you recover a failed server.

We need to do it in Dr test in remote site, need different. SID

you should do that by yourself, I think. Sysprep will do the trick...

Hello @Mahendar Reddy 

  • Click the Create new entities button (Out-of-place restore). Enter the following:
    • (ESXi only) Desired path in the Path field
    • Optional name prefix in the VM Name Prefix field.
    • Optional name prefix in the Volume Group Name Prefix field.
    Click OK to create a clone of each selected entity in the path location (path location is only for ESXi) with the same name and the specified prefix. If you do not specify a prefix, the prefix Nutanix-Clone- is used. For example, if the original VM name is myvm and a prefix is not specified, the cloned VM name is Nutanix-Clone-myvm (or Nutanix-Clone-myvm-yymmdd-hhmmss if Nutanix-Clone-myvm exists). The VM clone is not powered on automatically; you must start it manually. Manually attach volume groups to the new VM (see Volume Group Configuration in the Prism Web Console Guide). This operation created entities with new UUIDs.
