DescriptionSetting
Use an absolute path to specify the name of the
directory for storing a VDI metafile. An existing
directory must be specified.
If you do not specify any value as the VDI metafile
storage directory, the VDI metafiles will be stored in
the same location as the data files of the SQL Server
database. To easily manage VDI metafiles, HP
recommends that you do not specify a VDI metafile
storage directory.
VDI metafile storage directory (optional)
#1
The timeout interval in seconds, used when a VDI
metafile is generated.
The specifiable range is from 0 to 3600. When you
specify 0, the waiting status continues indefinitely until
a VDI metafile is generated.
VDI generation timeout interval (in seconds) (required)

Specify the backup destination for the transaction log
file backed up with the drmsqllogbackup com-
mand. Use an absolute path to specify the directory
name. Specify a location other than a primary volume
containing databases and a secondary volume con-
taining databases.

You cannot specify the directory containing the SQL Server database configuration definition file
(instance-name.dat, in which parameters are registered) for the VDI metafile storage directory.
#2
If nothing is specified for the UNDO file storage directory, and the drmsqlrestore command
or drmsqlrecover command is executed with the -undo option specified, an error message
appears, indicating that no parameters have been specified for the drmsqlinit command. The
