ATTENTION 1st January, 2022: v7 officially End-of-Life [details]
When starting a VMware ESXi/vCenter guest VM Run Direct restore from AhsayCBS web console the following error message is shown "Hostname cannot be empty".
This is due to a configuration issue on the AhsayCBS server, the "Host Name" of the AhsayCBS server has been left empty.
The "Host Name" value is required by the NFS service during a AhsayCBS Run Direct restore so that the VMWare ESXi/vCenter host is able to resolve and mount the user home drive on AhsayCBS as network drive.
To resolve this problem
VMware ESXi, vCenter, Run Direct, Agentless, AhsayCBS, hostname, Host Name, guest, VM
