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

Prerequisites
The prerequisite for executing this extended command is as follows:
• An operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID has been provided.
Arguments
operation-ID
A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed. Information in the operation
definition file corresponding to the specified operation ID is used when executing the extended
command.
-mode online
Specify this option to perform online backup. With the online backup method, you back up a file
system without unmounting it.
If you specify online backup for a file system other than VxFS, this extended command only synchronizes
the file system before the online backup. To ensure consistency in the backup data, you need to
suppress the updating of data before backup processing.
If you omit this option, an online backup is the default.
-mode cold
Specify this option to perform cold backup.
Use a cold backup for a mounted file system. When executed, this extended command unmounts the
specified file system and backs up the volume in offline mode. Once the backup processing has
finished, the command mounts the file system again. If unmounting of the file system fails, the command
displays an error message and cancels backup processing. If the target volume has already been
unmounted, the command cancels backup processing.
If executed on a server with a cluster configuration, this extended command places the target disk
resource in the offline mode instead of unmounting the file system, and then backs up the volume.
When backup processing is completed, the command places the target disk resources in the online
mode again.
Backup processing is cancelled if this command is executed in the following cases:
• Placing the disk resource in offline mode fails.
• The disk resource is already in offline mode.
-mode vss
Specify this option to perform VSS backup.
To use this option, the Protection Manager service must be running on the backup server.
-comment backup-comment
Specify this option to register a backup comment in the backup catalog. The conditions for specifying
a value in the backup-comment parameter are as follows:
• The value must be 64 bytes or less.
• The value can use alphanumeric, reserved, one-byte space, and multi-byte characters.
• The value is case sensitive.
• When a reserved character or a one-byte space character is used, the entire value must be enclosed
in double quotation marks (").
