Policy management at the virtual machine level

Storage requirements for Hyper-V virtual machine backups are determined by IBM Storage Protect server management classes.

You can set different policies for different virtual machines. Although the default management class determines storage characteristics for all Hyper-V backups, you can override the default management class or specify a management class to use for the Hyper-V control files.

You can change the default management class for Hyper-V virtual machine backups with the vmmc option. You can change the default management class for Hyper-V control files with the vmctlmc option.
