 Set-SmConfigSettings -Agent -HostName SNAPCENTER113.sccore.test.com -configSettings @{"SERVER_API_TIMEOUT_IN_SEC"="300";"ALLOWED_CMDS"="mount *; unmount *"}

This example syntax sets 2 configuration settings key-values for a custom plug-in.

ALLOWED_CMDS mount *; unmount *

Example 2: Modifying a single configuration setting on the SnapCenter Server

 Set-SmConfigSettings -Server -configSettings @{"WindowsRemoteInstallProcessTimeout"="900"}

This example syntax modifies the specified configuration setting on the SnapCenter Server.

Name Value
---- -----
WindowsRemoteInstallProcess…​ 900

Example 3: Setting the chunk size for which files are grouped for a directory restore from primary storage

 Set-SmConfigSettings -Server -configSettings @{"PrimaryRestoreFileChunkSize"="500";}

This example syntax specifies the file chunk size to restore from primary storage. The default primary restore chunk is 500. You can increase or decrease the chunk size, but the size must be greater than 0.

Example 4: Setting the chunk size for which files are grouped for a directory restore from secondary storage

 Set-SmConfigSettings -Server -configSettings @{" SecondaryRestoreFileChunkSize "="8";}

This example syntax specifies the file chunk size to restore from secondary storage. The default secondary restore chunk is 8. You can increase or decrease the chunk size, but the size must be greater than 0.

Example 5: Setting a custom port

 Set-SmConfigSettings -Agent -configSettings @{"PORT"="8174"} -HostName SNAPCENTER113.sccore.test.com

This example syntax specifies the custom port number for the SMCore agent as 8174.

Name Value
---- -----
PORT 8174

Example 6: Setting load sharing mirror retry

 Set-SmConfigSettings -Agent -configSettings @{"lsmsleep"="9997"} -HostName localhost

This example syntax sets the load sharing mirror retry time to 9997 milliseconds to enable load sharing mirrors to finish updating before retrying mount or restore operations.

Name Value
---- -----
lsmsleep 9997

Example 7: Setting the access method of SQL log backups for reseed and restore operations of availability group database

 Set-SmConfigSettings -Server -configSettings @{"ReseedLogBackupMount"="true"]

The example syntax sets the log backup's access as mount and copy for restore and reseed operations of availability group database. Setting the flag to true indicates that the SQL availability group database reseed and restore operations should mount the log backups on the target host rather than accessing them as a network share.

The default value is "false".
