vSphere Plugin: Recovering a Deleted vVol VM pending eradication with the Everpure vSphere Plugin - VM Undelete

In this example, the VMs have been powered off and Deleted from disk. Two of the VMs have additionally been eradicated from the array.

1. VM Undelete is a workflow available to the vVols Datastore. Navigate to the vVols Datastore - Right click on the vVol Datastore - click on Pure Storage - Select Undelete Virtual Machine
2. Take note of the Sources column as this will denote the available protection group snapshots on the array that can be used to recover the VM. The exception is VMs that have been deleted from disk in vCenter but the array volumes have not yet been eradicated. The sources will always show as 1 for them
   1. Checking from the array GUI, we can see that the 01 and 05 VMs have not been eradicated and are in a pending eradication state
3. The VM c08-17-vvol-vm-01 is selected to be undeleted and the next page shows the point in times to chose from. As this VM is in a pending eradication state, only one PiT source is shown but has the "destroyed volumes" notation. Meaning that the VM's objects on the array have been destroyed but not eradicated yet
4. A compute resource is selected next
5. Review the details and then click Finish to recover the VM that has been deleted in vSphere but volumes on the array have not been eradicated
6. Once the VM has been recovered, review that everything looks correct and the VM can be powered on and verified
7. One thing to keep in mind is that storage policies are not applied or reviewed when registering an VM in vSphere
   As such, please apply the appropriate storage policy for the VM to ensure that the VM is still protected
