Vmmaxrestoresessions

The vmmaxrestoresessions option defines the maximum number of IBM Spectrum Protect™ server sessions that can be included in an optimized restore operation for a virtual machine (VM).

An optimized restore operation is one in which parallel restore capability is enabled at the subdisk level of a virtual disk.

At least one session must be allocated for each disk that is being restored.

If the value of vmmaxrestoresessions is less than the value of vmmaxrestoreparalleldisks multiplied by vmmaxrestoreparallelvms, the value will automatically be adjusted to the value of vmmaxrestoreparalleldisks multiplied by vmmaxrestoreparallelvms at runtime.

Supported clients

This option can be used with supported Windows clients.

Options file

This option is valid in the data mover options file (dsm.hostname_HV_DM.opt) or on the command line with the restore vm command. It can also be included in a client option set on the IBM Spectrum Protect server.
