I did an instant recovery of 2 servers, these servers were from a different location and restored to a new location. Instant recovery went fine. When I migrate to production it creates a whole new server with the name -migrate. Never had this issue doin this to the same location.

I don’t recall IR ever doing that before either. I also never do so to a different location. There is an option to create a server name for different location. Did you verify if that name suffix “-migrate” was somewhere in the name?

Also, what VBR version are you on? Are you migrating to HV or vSphere?

I have not used IR in a while but if I am not mistaken there is something in the wizard to specify the suffix I believe. I could be wrong or maybe that is something new in 12.x if you are on that release. Checking on the documentation.
Also, as Shane asked - what VBR version and hypervisor are you using?

For vSphere, there is nothing in the restore wizard in which you can add a suffix...you’d have to type a suffix in the VM name field:
For Hyper-V, you can click on the Name button & add a suffix:
But, both are manual operations...meaning, you have to type them in. There’s nothing I found to where a suffix gets added to an IR-restore VM automatically.

Maybe you’ve used “Quick Migration” instead of vMotion?
This will create a temporary VM with suffix “_migrated” as described here:

Great catch Matthias! Yep..that’s probably what it is because
Is the name shown above what you’re seeing with the underscore (VM-NAME_migrated) and not with a dash (VM-NAME-migrated)?
