Modifying Config-on-the-Fly when Dissolving
Dissolving a Container Without Using Config-on-the-Fly
You can opt to dissolve a container without using Config-on-the-Fly (COTF). This is useful when you create a container and dissolve it on a destination machine (Machine A), without compressing and moving the container to a second destination machine (Machine B). COTF is not required because it has already been applied in this case.
Use the /K
option to run Dissolve without Config-on-the-Fly. For example:
virtadissolve c:\appliances\myContainer /K
Use pedit
to change the CPROP_CONFIG_FILE
property. For example:
virtapedit c:\appliances\MyContainer CPROP_CONFIG_FILE ""
Modifying Config-on-the-Fly
Let's say that you create a container, compress it into a .cap file, move the compressed file from one destination machine (Machine A) to a second destination machine (Machine B), and then dissolve the container. In this scenario, you will edit the $cotf0
argument using virtapedit.exe
to change it from Machine A to Machine B.
Change the CPROP_CONFIG_FILE
property as follows, for example:
virtapedit c:\appliances\myContainer CPROP_CONFIG_FILE "c:\appliances\myContainer\scripts\StandardCOTF.xml" "MachineB"
