Use the vmtempdatastore option with the restore VM command to define a temporary data store on the ESX host for an instant restore operation.
The data store created with the vmtempdatastore option is used to temporarily store the configuration of the VM created during restore processing. This option is required during instant restore operations (-vmrestoretype=instantrestore).
This option is only valid for VMware virtual machines. The virtual machines must be hosted on VMware ESXi 5.1 servers, or later versions. You must be licensed to use Tivoli® Storage Manager for Virtual Environments to use this option.
This option can be used with supported Windows clients.
Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt), or on the command line.
