Explanation
When you restore a checkpoint image, you can specify additional command-line options by using the CRIUSupport.registerRestoreOptionsFile API. You can also use the OPENJ9_RESTORE_JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable (CRIUSupport.registerRestoreEnvVariables API) to add the VM options on restore. If you specify options that do not exist, or are unsupported, the VM, by default, fails to start and throws a JVMRestoreException error. The -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedRestoreOptions option disables the failure and allows the VM to continue even if some options are not used.
