Home > Data Protection > PowerProtect Data Manager > White Papers > PowerProtect Data Manager: Virtual Machine Backup and Recovery > Manage and monitor instant access sessions
In the Instant Access Sessions window, you can change the status of a virtual machine restore to new or instant access virtual machine restore (for example, by extending the availability period or deleting an instant access virtual machine) and monitor vMotion events.
Note: The instant access sessions used by a SQL application-aware self-service restore are displayed in the Data Manager UI, but management is disabled. Use the SQL application-aware self-service restore UI to manage these sessions.
When the Jobs window indicates that a recovery has completed successfully, go to Restore > Running Sessions to access the Running Sessions window. In this window, you can monitor and manage all exported copies created from storage.
An active restore session with a state of Mounting indicates that the restore is still in progress. Once the state changes to Mounted, the restore is complete and the instant access virtual machine is ready. When the checkbox next to the session is selected, one option can be chosen from three options, as shown in the following figure.
