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

The online backup, when used together with the -mode online option, forcibly copies the target
data from the primary volume to the secondary volume without unmounting the Information Store.
The restore operation might fail if an online backup is performed during a database update, since
backup data might have been obtained with inconsistent database files. Thus, if you want to
perform an online backup, first perform a cold backup to confirm that the necessary backup data
is saved.
-target storage-group-name(s)
Specify this option to back up the database resources containing the specific storage group. However,
the minimum unit for backup is a physical volume. If a single physical volume contains multiple storage
groups, specify all of the storage groups. If you specify only some of the storage groups, a command
error occurs.
When specifying multiple storage groups to be backed up, use a comma to separate each storage
group name. Use double quotation marks to enclose all storage group names that contain at least
one space character.
If you omit this option, all storage groups on the server will be backed up.
-target Information-Store-name
Specify this option to back up the database resources containing a specific Information Store. However,
the minimum unit for backup is a physical volume. If a single physical volume contains multiple
Information Stores, specify all of the Information Stores. If you do not specify all of the Information
Stores, a command error occurs.
When specifying multiple Information Stores to be backed up, use a comma to separate each
Information Store name. Use double quotation marks to enclose any Information Store names that
contain at least one space character.
If you omit this option, all the Information Stores on the server on which the command is executed will
be backed up.
-f target-definition-file-name
As with the -target option, specify this option to back up only a particular storage group or
Information Store. You must specify this option when multiple storage group data files or Information
Store data files exist on one physical volume.
Unlike the -target option, the -f option lets you specify a target definition file, which contains all
the storage groups or Information Stores for which backups are to be performed. 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 name to specify the target definition file.
-rc name-identifying-the-generation
Use this option to specify the name identifying the generation of the copy group to be backed up.
Execute the drmexgdisplay command with the -cf option, and specify the displayed GEN-NAME
value. In a single volume, a hyphen (-) appears. In this case, you cannot specify the -rc option.
Always specify this option when backing up from a primary volume to a secondary volume on the
remote side. If this option is omitted, the secondary volume on the local side is backed up.
If you omit name-identifying-the-generation, the secondary volume that has the smallest value among
the generation numbers on the remote-side becomes the backup destination. In this case, the generation
number is remote_n, where n is the smallest generation number.
-pf copy-parameter-definition-file
Specify this option when using the number of retries and the retry interval defined in the copy parameter
definition file. Specify only the file name, without specifying the path.
