HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.6.0-00 Application Agent CLI Reference Guide

-cascade
Specify this option to perform a backup on both the local site and remote site concurrently when
configuring a cascade.
After the backup finishes, a backup catalog is registered on the local site and remote site respectively.
The same copy group and MU# of the local site is also used on the remote server.
You cannot specify this option concurrently with the following options:
• -s
• -pf
• -svol_check
If you specify the -rc option concurrently with this option, and the generation identifier specified in
the -rc option and the generation number at the remote side are different, an error occurs.
If you specify the -script option concurrently with this option, a user script file specified in the
-script option needs to exist on both the local site and remote site.
If you specify the -f option concurrently with this option, the target definition file specified in the -f
option needs to exist on both the local site and remote site.
When this option is specified, the backup server defined in the cascade configuration information file
is used. The following backup servers are ignored:
• A backup server defined in the default VSS definition file (vsscom.conf)
• A backup server defined in the VSS definition file specified in the -vf option
You cannot use this option in extended commands.
NOTE:
• Make sure no other volume is mounted on the directory of the volume to be backed up in an online
backup.
• The backup information in the backup catalog is managed based on using the copy group as a
key. Depending on the backup method, you might not be able to perform restoration, even though
the backup data exists on the secondary volume. For further information, see the notes on running
Application Agent in the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User
Guide .
• When specifying on the command line a file name or directory name containing space characters
for the -target or -f option, you must enclose the file name in double quotation marks (").
Note that enclosing with double quotation marks is not necessary for target paths specified in
batch definition files.
Return Values
0: Normal termination
