If you are able to perform all of the verification tasks successfully, Microsoft
Volume Shadow Copy and Virtual Disk Services have been successfully
configured on your Windows system.
DS Open API Support for Microsoft VSS and VDS Reconfiguration Commands After installation, you can use several commands on the ibmvcfg.exe tool to
change or correct parameters that you used to install the Microsoft Volume
Shadow Copy and Virtual Disk Services. To do this, you must use the utility
ibmvcfg.exe. You do not have to set many of the settings because there are
defaults that are provided for them in Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy and
Virtual Disk Services. The following table shows the commands that you can
use for reconfiguration.
