 +==== Restore from different datastore ====
 +
 +A VM is broken and needs to be restored. To do so you need to copy the VM from the backup datastore to your productive one \\
 +
 +__Reason:__ \\
 +You dont want to run VMs from your backup datastore \\
 +
 +__Fix:__ \\
 +Connect to your esx host via ssh and copy the files with "cp" or "vmkfstools"\\
 +Make sure you either rename your old .vmdk + flatfile to .old or your restore to something different (rename flat in .vmdk)
 +<code bash>
 +cp -a myvm.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/prod_datastore/myvm/myvm.vmdk
 +cp -a myvm-flat.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/prod_datastore/myvm/myvm-flat.vmdk
 +</code>
 +
 +With vmkfstools you dont need to edit the flat name inside .vmdk, the tool does this for you if you choose another name
 +<code bash>
 +vmkfstools -i myvm.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/prod_datastore/myvm/myvm.vmdk
 +</code>
