What is the vmPRO Registry?

The vmPRO Registry is a Python Dictionary that allows Backup Administrators to change the behavior of the vmPRO software from the PanShell.

Changing the vmPRO Registry

1. Log into the vmPRO appliance via SSH, using the default credentials. At the time of this writing (April 2, 2014), for the 6609 build (3.1.2), these are sysadmin / sysadmin.
2. Use the reg command to manage keys, as discussed below. 

Meanings of Some Registry Key Values

The following articles discuss the meanings of some registry key values:

1. The smartread.v25.enabled Registry Key 
2. The hotadd_transport.enabled Registry Key
3. The smartmotion.max_streams Registry Key
4. The smartmotion.max_tasks Registry Key

Please Help by Adding the Meanings of Other Useful Keys

The first version of this article (April 9, 2014) provides links to two other articles that discuss specific registry key values. If you find registry keys that are useful for vmPRO Backup Administrators, please submit a Qwikipedia article that that shows the reg command and syntax for changing the key, and the effects of changing it. You can use the first two articles in the list above as models for your article. Thank you!
