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

As with the -target option, specify this option to restore specific storage groups or Information
Stores. Unlike the -target option, the -f option lets you specify a target definition file, which
contains all the storage groups or Information Stores to be restored. The target definition file containing
the list of storage groups or Information Stores must be created before you use this option. Use an
absolute path to specify the target definition file.
When using Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007, if you want to restore backup data
that was obtained by using VSS in units of Information Stores, then, like the -target option, create
a target definition file that states \Information-Store-name after the storage group name. Then
specify the name of the target definition file.
-force
Specify this option to restore data from the secondary volume to the primary volume by forcibly
resynchronizing the volumes.
You can perform a forced resynchronization if the copy group name of the primary volume (obtained
when backup processing was performed on the file server or database server) matches the information
on the file server or the database server. You can perform a forced resynchronization even though
the LDEV and SERIAL numbers do not match the LDEV and SERIAL numbers when backup processing
was performed.
Specify this option only if restoration by resynchronization could not be performed with the -resync
option, such as when the LDEV number changed when the volume was replaced. If you specify this
option for normal restoration, data might be corrupted.
-recovery
Specify this option to perform a recovery by roll-forwarding. When you execute the command with
this option specified, transactions recorded after a backup are restored, and the database is returned
to its most recent state. To execute this command, all transaction logs, from the time the backup was
made to the time the command was executed, must be stored on the Exchange Server.
If you omit this option, the database will return to the state it was in at the time it was backed up.
This option is essential if you want to restore an Information Store from backup data obtained by
using VSS when using Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007. If you have specified an
Information Store using the -target option or -f option without specifying the -recovery option,
the command terminates in an error. However, if all Information Stores within a storage group have
been specified, you can restore backup data without specifying the -recovery option.
If you restore cold backup data without specifying the -recovery option, you cannot use the
-recovery option to restore subsequent backups.
-pf copy-parameter-definition-file
Specify this option to use the number of retries and the retry interval defined in the copy parameter
definition file. Specify the copy-parameter-definition-file parameter as a file name only;
do not specify the parameter as a path.
If you omit this option, the value of the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is used.
The values in the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) are used for any parameters
that are not included in the copy parameter definition file.
You can create a copy parameter definition file by using a name of your choice. Specify the file name
by using an alphanumeric character string that is 64 bytes or less. You must save the copy parameter
definition file in the following folder:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\raid
-vf VSS-definition-file-name
