HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.0 Mainframe Agent Installation and Configuration Guide (TB581-96014, November 2010)

Specify the backup ID of the backup data you want to use for restoration. A backup ID uniquely
identifies backup data. A backup ID is assigned to each backup and stored in the backup catalog.
To check backup IDs, execute the drmfscat command.
-resync
Specify this option to restore the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume by
resynchronizing the volumes. The contents of the primary volume become the same as the backup
data in the secondary volume.
-force
Specify this option to restore the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume by forcibly
resynchronizing the volumes.
With this option, forced resynchronization is performed if the copy group name of the primary volume
obtained when the backup processing was performed on the file server matches the information on
the file server, even though the LDEV and SERIAL numbers do not match the LDEV and SERIAL numbers
when the backup processing was performed.
Specify this option only if restoration, which resynchronizes the disks, could not be performed with
the -resync option, such as when the LDEV number changes when the volume is replaced. If this
option is specified under a normal restoration, data might be corrupted.
-target directory-name
Specify this option to restore the file system that contains the specific directory. directory-name indicates
a mount point directory name, drive letter, or volume mount point name. The specified directory name
must have been registered in the backup catalog. However, if the specified directory has already
been backed up, it does not need to be registered in the backup catalog to restore the file system.
Use the absolute path name to specify the directory name. The data is restored to the same location
as that to which it was backed up. As such, make sure that the directory name that you specify perfectly
matches the name of the directory that was backed up. If an incorrect path is specified, restoration
will not be performed correctly. To display the information for two or more directories concurrently,
use commas to separate each of the directory names you specify. When you specify a directory name
containing space characters, enclose the directory name in double quotation marks (").
If you omit both this option and the -f option, the whole file system registered in the backup catalog
will be restored.
-f target-definition-file-name
Specify this option to restore the file system that contains the specific file or directory. Use the file or
directory name registered in the backup catalog specified with the backup ID.
Create a target definition file in advance. The target definition file can be used to define a list of
absolute paths of files or directories to be restored. By specifying the target definition file name, you
can collectively specify all of the definition files or directories that you want to restore. This is the
distinction between this option and the -target option. Use the absolute path to specify the target
definition file name. If the -target or -f options of the drmfsbackup command are specified, specify for
this option, for each file or directory name, the exact same absolute path name as specified for the
drmfsbackup command.
When you specify a target definition file name containing space characters, enclose the target definition
file name in double quotation marks ("). Note, however, that double quotation marks (") are not
necessary for the path name specified when the target file name or directory name is specified in the
target definition file.
If you omit both this option and the -target option, the whole file system registered in the backup
catalog will be restored.
