GitHub user leolns closed a discussion: Failed to create a new instance from
backup
### problem
Cloudstack 4.21.0.0 + VMware 8u3g + vSAN + Veeam 12 environment.
When trying to create a new instance from an existing backup, an error occurs
because the datastore cannot be found. The datastore lookup is using the
CloudStack UUID instead of the volume name.
`$ds = Find-VBRViDatastore -Server:$server -Name
"0f2b59684453331eb366a6d7036bae96"`
Find-VBRViDatastore doesnt accept uuid, it needs vmware volume name
```
