HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Job Command Reference (T3680-96090, October 2012)

The format of a job-instance name is the job name, plus a sequence number. For example, the job
named daily_backup when run two times would have job instance names of daily_backup-1 and
daily_backup-2.
Aborted job instances
In some cases, a job instance may not stop when it is aborted. This can happen if the instance is
hung while executing a command to a low level device.
When the replication manager server is stopped and restarted, all aborted job instances are
cancelled.
Arguments
Most job commands include arguments. When a command is initially entered in a job, default
values may appear in command arguments. In some cases, there are no defaults and you must
specify a value. Required arguments are denoted by % characters. In the following
example,%stor_unc_name% indicates that a value must be entered for the UNC name of the storage
volume.
SnapcloneStorageVolume ( %storvol_unc_name%, "", SAME, "", WAIT )
^ required argument
See Resource names and UNC format.
Argument lists
In some commands an argument list can be specified. An argument list consists of individual
resource names, separated by commas, and enclosed in parenthesis.
For example, a list of storage volumes (virtual disks):
("\\Array2\Cats", "\\Array2\Dogs", "\\Array3\Cars")
Assignments (variables)
The Editing Task window allows you to create assignments (variables) that refer to specific resources
or that reference the results of a command.
In the following example, a lengthy UNC-formatted name is stored in a variable on line 5. When
the job is run, a snapclone is created by the command on line 10, which refers to the variable.
TaskLine
...
$disk = SetVariable ("\\ArrayA2\Pets\Cats\Vdisk66")5
...
SnapcloneStorageVolume ($disk, "", SAME, "", WAIT)10
...
In the next example, the results of a command are saved in a variable when the job is run. On
line 7, the UNC name of the snapshot is stored in the variable $Rep1. Then on line 13 the variable
is referenced to delete the snapshot.
