Vmmaxrestoreparalleldisks

Specify the vmmaxrestoreparalleldisks option to restore multiple virtual disks at the same time on a single virtual machine (VM).

You can specify the number of disk sessions to be opened, up to a maximum of 10. The maximum number of disk restore sessions is specified by the vmmaxrestoresessions option. The available sessions are allocated across the number of disk sessions as specified by the vmmaxrestoreparalleldisks option, by rounding down the number of sessions per disk to the nearest whole number.

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.
