Vmautostartvm
Use the vmautostartvm option with the restore VM vmrestoretype=instantaccess command to specify whether the VM created during instant access processing is automatically powered on.
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: Data Protection for VMware to use this option.
Supported Clients
This option can be used with supported Windows clients.
Options file
Place this option in the client options file (dsm.opt), or on the command line. This option is only valid when used for an operation where vmrestoretype=instantaccess.
