Specifications

MDR Server to a new disk group using a list of disk port ids. For instance, connect-
disk-group 1,4-6
will connect the MDR Server to the disk group containing the disks
with port ids 1,4,5 and 6.
Example: connect-disk-group
connect-disk-group MyDiskGroup
copy-recording
Syntax:
copy-recording <Source> <Target> [<FileNamePathAndPrefix>]
[<RecordingName>] [<FirstRecordingBlock>-<LastRecordingBlock>]
Description: Copy the recorded data between different devices.
The source and destination devices, specified respectively by
<Source> and <Target>,
are one of the following:
Disks MDR disk subsystem
Host Host workstation (ppc-vxworks, sun-solaris, x86-win32)
Tape Optional MDR SCSI tape drive (connected trough a SCSI PMC
module)
The host file name path and prefix are specified by the <
FileNamePathAndPrefix>. If
not specified then the default value ‘./’ is used.
The name (or number in the recording table) of the recording to copy is specified by
<RecordingName>. If this parameter is not specified, the current recording is copied.
Using the copy-recording
command while making a recording affects the recording
performance. The MDR Server may stop recording due to this.
Currently, only the following
copy-recording commands are allowed:
copy-recording Disks Host [<FileNamePathAndPrefix>][<RecordingName>]
[<FirstRecordingBlock>-<LastRecordingBlock>]
Copy data from the MDR disk subsystem (recording specified by <RecName>) to
the host.
The data will be written to one or more files in a locally mounted file system
(platform x86-win32: the maximum size for a file is set to 1GiB). The directory of
the file(s) may be specified with
<FileNamePathAndPrefix>. In that case,
<FileNamePathAndPrefix> must end with the subdirectory separator character
for the host filesystem (‘/’ for UNIX, ‘\’ for Windows NT).
The name of the file(s) will have the following format:
<FileNamePathAndPrefix><RecordingName>.<ServerHostName>.<FileNo>
where <FileNo> is the number of the file.
If <
FileNamePathAndPrefix> is not specified then no prefix is added to the
file name.
<FirstRecordingBlock> and <LastRecordingBlock> specify the range of
recording blocks to copy (first and last user blocks included). If this range is not
specified then the entire recording data is copied.
