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

The mount point directory name must satisfy the following:
• Maximum number of characters: Path lengths to be specified must comply with the specification
of the mount or unmount function provided by RAID Manager.
• Available characters: Characters that can be used in a directory name in Windows (space char-
acters cannot be used).
If you specify a drive for the mount point directory name, the command searches for unused drive
names in alphabetical order, starting with the specified drive, and then performs the mount.
If you specify an absolute path from the drive letter as the mount point directory name, the command
mount point is as follows:
absolute-path-specified-for-mount-point-directory-name\primary-volume-drive-letter\
primary-volume-mount-point
Even if the path does not end with a backslash (\), the command assumes that a backslash has been
specified. For example, D: and D:\ are assumed to be the same drive. Similarly, D:\MOUNTDIR
and D:\MOUNTDIR\ are assumed to be the same directory.
If you omit this option, a drive that is not being used when the extended command is executed will
be used as the mount point.
-force
Specify this option to perform a forced-mount. If you specify this option together with the -mount_pt
option, you must specify the options in the order: -mount_pt, -force.
If the copy group name of the primary volume obtained at the time of backup processing on the
database server matches the information on the database server, forced resynchronization is performed.
This operation is executed even if the LDEV and SERIAL numbers do not match the LDEV and SERIAL
numbers from the time the backup processing was performed.
Specify this option when you must perform a forced mount on a secondary volume using only the
copy group name of the primary volume as a key. Examples of when you might want to execute this
operation include: replacement of a secondary volume because of a hardware failure, an LDEV
number or SERIAL number has changed, etc. If you specify this option for normal restoration, data
might be corrupted.
If you omit this option, the extended command terminates with an error without performing mounting
if the copy group name, LDEV number, and SERIAL number of the primary volume, do not match the
information on the backup server. (These values are acquired when the database is backed up.)
Return Values
0: Normal termination
Any value other than 0: Termination with an error
Conditions Causing an Error
This extended command fails in the following cases:
• An invalid option is specified.
• The system could not acquire information from the operation definition file linked to the operation
ID.
• A command executed inside the extended command encounters an error.
