Hello,

I'm testing restoring metadata from an old POOL HS to a new hypervisor.

After moving metadata backup from old POOL HS to metadata backup folder of new hypervisor, I get "RESTORE_TARGET_MISSING_DEVICE(eth3)" error.

Indeed the new hypervisor has 1 ethernet port less than the old master POOL HS.

I know I can get around this error by adding an ethernet port on the new hypervisor, but that may be an additional strain.

I don't understand why the Ethernet port difference is a problem? Do you know the reason?
(in addition, once the metadata has been restored, you have to go through the "network reconfiguration" box to properly recover the new hypervisor)
