When a restore of a VM is performed and destination is set to 'ESX host if vCenter is down', the restored VM is not going into the expected location when 'overwrite VM' is used. Spectrum Protect Plus will create a new destination in the datastore for the restored VM. This will also cause a second restore of this VM to fail after a new backup of this VM was taken. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Versions Affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.x Initial Impact: Medium Additional Keywords: SPP, SPPlus, TS003497999
