Removing the file restore feature

If you no longer want to run file restore operations, you can remove the file restore feature by updating a configuration file. If you uninstall Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V, you must update the same configuration file to remove the file restore feature.

About this task

To remove the services that are related to the file restore feature, you must update the frConfig.props file and remove the services that are related to the mount proxy nodes.

Procedure

Complete the following steps on the Hyper-V host or cluster:

  1. Manually edit the C:\IBM\SpectrumProtect\webserver\usr\servers\veProfile\tsmVmGUI\frConfig.props file by changing the following option:
    enable_filerestore=true
    Change the option as shown:
    enable_filerestore=false
  2. Open the Services control panel in the Windows operating system and remove the services that are related to the mount proxy node. Typically, the services are called TSM CAD - hostname_HV_MP_platform and TSM Agent - hostname_HV_MP_platform.
  3. Remove the mount proxy nodes on the IBM Spectrum Protect™ server with the REMOVE NODE command.

Results

The file restore feature is removed from the Hyper-V host or cluster. You do not have to restart the IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments Derby Database or IBM Spectrum Protect Web Server services.

What to do next

If you ran file restore operations on a Linux guest virtual machine, you must uninstall Linux the mount proxy feature. For instructions, see Uninstalling the mount proxy feature on Linux systems.
