The following table describes the required and optional command parameters.
Table 21. Create Smart-Copy Command Options
Parameter Abbr. Argument Description
Required Parameters
--collection -c collection-name Specifies the Smart Copy collection name. All Smart Copies,
even a single one, are stored in a collection. Do not use with --
source.
--source -s mount-point Specifies one or more mount points to copy when creating the
Smart Copy. Do not use with --collection .
Optional Parameters
--comment -C comment-string Provides a comment string to describe the Smart Copy you are
creating. The comment is set for the PS Series group and
stored in the backup document.
--destination -d directory Specifies where to mount the Smart Copy. If you specify mnt/
temp for Smart Copy volume /x, ASM/LE mounts the volume
at /mnt/temp/x. If you omit this option, mount the Smart
Copy later with the mount smart-copy command.
--force -F none Creates the Smart Copy even if all mount points cannot be
frozen. When creating a Smart Copy, ASM/LE attempts to
freeze all mount points. This option creates the Smart Copy,
but the Smart Copy might be inconsistent.
--freeze-time n Specifies the maximum number of seconds to freeze the file
systems when creating a Smart Copy. If this value is exceeded,
the operation times out and a consistent Smart Copy is not
created. For most configurations, the default time is sufficient.
When creating Smart Copies with a large number of mount
points or a heavy I/O load, ASM/LE might not have enough
time to freeze all of the mount points and build the Smart Copy.
Use this option to increase the time limit.
--group-access-file -g file-location Specifies the location of the group access file that stores the
user names and encrypted passwords.
--object -o object-id Specifies an object ID to uniquely identify the replica Smart
Copy being created. Use this option only for replica clones (see
Example 5). For all other Smart Copy types, use --source or
--collection.
--output error | always Specifies when to display output to the console. Use error to
display output only when an operation fails, such as with a
scheduled operation. Use always (default) to display all output
from the operation.
--read-only -R none Mounts the file system from the Smart Copy as read-only. Use
this parameter only with the --destination option.
--retry-count -r n Specifies the number of times to retry a failed operation.
