HYPERV_WMI_CREATE_DISK_TIMEOUT option for NetBackup servers

This option specifies the timeout period for creating a virtual disk during restore of a Hyper-V VM that was backed up with the WMI method.

Table: HYPERV_WMI_CREATE_DISK_TIMEOUT information

Usage

Description

Where to use

On NetBackup master servers.

How to use

Change the HYPERV_WMI_CREATE_DISK_TIMEOUT by using the bpsetconfig command or the nbsetconfig command.

For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.

The default is 24 hours. The range for this option is 0 hours to 240 hours. A value of 0 means the restore job never times out during virtual disk creation.

Example

The following entry tells the NetBackup restore job to wait 48 hours for creation of the Hyper-V virtual disk.

HYPERV_WMI_CREATE_DISK_TIMEOUT = 48

More information on this configuration option is available in the NetBackup for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide.
