Cohesity - Restore Virtual Machine to Most Recent Snapshot

This workflow appears in the pivot menu and leverages Cohesity DataProtect to restore the selected virtual machine to its most recent backup snapshot. Supported observable: serial number.

Target: Cohesity DataProtect

Steps:

• Validate and convert the serial number (to a VMware UUID)
• Search for matching protection objects in Cohesity (end the workflow if 0 or more than 1 is found)
• Get a summary of snapshots for the object (if no summaries were returned, end the workflow)
  • For each cluster the object belongs to:
    • Get a snapshot summary and check if a viable snapshot is available (if so, store it in a local variable for later)
• Check if a snapshot was found (if not, end the workflow)
• Build the recovery request payload
• Request the recovery be performed (if it fails, end the workflow)
