Vappmc

Use the vappmc option to store VMware vCloud vApp backups by using a management class other than the default management class. The default management class is defined on the server, for the domain that the node belongs to.

If you set this option in the options file for a data mover node, all vApp back ups that are performed by the data mover are stored as indicated by the specified management class.

Supported Clients

Options File

Windows operating systems Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt), or on the command line. The server can also define this option.

Syntax


>>-VAPPMc--mgmtclassname---------------------------------------><

Parameters

mgmtclassname: Specifies a management class that applies to VMware vApp backups. If you do not set this option, the default management class of the node is used.
Tip: The management class that you specify on this option affects the storage of vApp data; the vmmc option does not apply to vApp data storage processing. However, the vmctlmc option does specify the management class that is used to store control files for both virtual machine backups and vApp backups.

Examples

Options file:

Specify a management class to use when the server stores all vApp backups:

vappmc MCPRODVAPPS
