If the MSA or entire service cluster is no longer accessible, its domain(s) must first be imported back to the primary site. Restoration is performed at the level of a protected domain.

Note: Importing the protected domain can be skipped if the MSA still exists at the primary site.

  • Under the Storage Sites tab, select the object store where the data was protected then click the Scan Domains button.

Scan protected domains from the storage site.

  • In the pop-up dialog window that appears, select a protected domain to import then click its Import link.

Import a protected domain.

  • The domain will be imported for recovery.
    • Go to the Protected Domains tab.
    • Select the imported protected domain from the Select Protected Domain menu.
    • A list of all the recoverable VMs from the protected domain is displayed.

Review VMs that can be recovered.

Note: If multiple domains have been imported, choose the desired domain from the Select Protected Domain menu.


After the protected domain has been imported, restore the protected domain.
