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

Use this option to specify the name identifying the generation of the copy group to be backed up.
Execute the drmfsdisplay 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.
When 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.
When you omit this option, the value of the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is
used. The DEFAULT.dat values are also used for parameters not specified in the copy parameter
definition file.
Create the copy parameter definition file with an arbitrary name in the following location. Specify
the file name using alphanumeric characters totaling up to 64 bytes.
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\raid
-mode cold
Specify this option to perform a cold backup.
You can perform a cold backup only for a mounted file system. The command unmounts the file system
and performs an offline backup for the volume(s) containing the file system. When the backup
terminates, the command mounts the file system again. If the command cannot unmount the file system,
the command displays an error message and cancels the backup processing. If the volume to be
backed up has been unmounted, the command cancels the backup processing.
When the command is executed on the server in a cluster configuration, instead of unmounting the
file system, the disk resource to be backed up is placed offline to back up the volume. The disk resource
is placed online after the backup has finished.
The backup processing is cancelled even if the command is executed in the following cases:
• When operations to place the disk resource offline failed
• When the disk resource is placed offline from the beginning
-comment backup-comment
Specify this option to register a backup comment in the backup catalog.
The backup-comment value can be a string of up to 64 bytes, consisting of alphanumeric, special,
one-byte space, and multi-byte characters. The backup comment is case sensitive. When a special
character, or a one-byte space character is used, the entire backup-comment string must be enclosed
in double quotation marks ("). If the backup-comment string contains a special character but is not
enclosed in double quotation marks, the special character is not properly handled as a part of the
backup-comment string and is parsed as a special character.
The following special characters cannot be used in backup comments:
\ / ` | < > " * ? & ; ( ) $
Note that the first character must not be a hyphen (-). If you specify two double quotation marks after
the -comment option, as in -comment "", no backup comment will be registered in the backup
catalog.
