   migration. (#PSBM-15060)

   Server Bare Metal 5.0 via Parallels Power Panel that was opened from inside

   minimum security level of the destination server. (#PSBM-15080)

   (#PSBM-14006)

 - It is impossible to start a virtual machine with Windows Server 2008 R2
   after restoring it from a backup. (#PSBM-14294)

 - Some IP addresses assigned to host-routed adapters in a virtual machine
   might be unavailable if IPfilter is enabled on the server. (#PSBM-14241)

   can fail. (#PSBM-14191)
