Error description
During a VM restore operation with Spectrum Copy Data Management (SCDM) on a VMware clustered environment, the restore is failing with error: ERROR,1663322577030,Fri 16 Sep 2022 10:02:57 UTC,2,No destination ESX host found for datastore (<DS_Name>). Specify a destination ESX host or cluster in the job policy. ERROR,1663322577030,Fri 16 Sep 2022 10:02:57 UTC,2,No selected item is recoverable. This condition is triggered if a VMware ESXi cluster host is temporarily removed from the cluster, and re-registered with an IP address vs. a host name (or vice versa). The restore logic fails to match the original hostname from the Catalog metadata with the new entry. Affected versions: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 2.2.16
