PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Administration and User Guide

For DDOS versions 6.2 and higher, PowerProtect Data Manager uses the limit that the DD storage appliance reports, and manages concurrent instant access sessions based on the reported limit.

You can change the limit by modifying a configuration file to override the default value. Note that sessions that exceed the maximum concurrent sessions that are supported are canceled and retried. To change the number of concurrent sessions manually to match the capability of the underlying storage appliance, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the PowerProtect Data Manager UI as a user with the Administrator role.
2. If not already created, create an application.yml file in the /usr/local/brs/lib/vmdm/config/ directory.
   NOTE The structure of this file requires that you separate fields into individual categories and sub categories, as shown in the following step.
3. In the application.yml file, change the instant access session parameter value to override the default value. For example:

   recovery:
       queue:
         ia_session_allowance: 32

4. Run vmdm stop and then vmdm start to restart the vmdm service.
   NOTE Ensure that no other virtual machine operations are running, such as protection and recovery.
