HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Administrator's guide (March 2008)

However, the intended use time for these replicas may exceed the time that is allowed
by the current active rotation scheme, in which Application Recovery Manager
automatically recycles the oldest replica. In such cases, you can exclude a session
(a replica) from use (the replica set rotation and possibility to perform instant recovery)
and thus preserve all target volumes of the replica.
Once you exclude a replica, the session that created the replica will not be used for
replica set rotation, cannot be used for instant recovery, and cannot be deleted using
the Application Recovery Manager CLI. To use an excluded session in an instant
recovery or to delete the target volumes created in this session, you must first include
the replica.
Excluding or including sessions is available only from the CLI for individual backup
session. To exclude a session from use (the replica set rotation and possibility to
perform instant recovery), use the omnidbsmis command.
Using the omnidbsmis command, you can:
• Exclude a session (the option -exclude)
• Include a session (the option -include)
• List all excluded sessions (the options -session —excluded)
For details, see the HP Application Recovery Manager software command line
interface reference or the omnidbsmis man page.
