ASMCLI -restore
Specify the ‑restore subcommand to perform an in‑place restore of a Smart Copy Set. An in‑place restore copies the entire
content of the Smart Copy Set to its original volumes, overwriting their content.
Use optional parameters to restore multiple volumes and control the selection of volumes, and the version of Smart Copy.
On a cluster, this command fails if:
● The target is the cluster quorum disk
● The target is a physical disk resource that has not been placed in maintenance mode
● The target is a physical disk resource that is not owned by this node or is a physical disk that is used to store Smart Copy
Set backup documents
Command Syntax
ASMCLI -restore [{-document="path" |
-volume={"drive_letter" |"mount_point"} |
-collection="collection_name" |
-objectID=" identifier" |
-component="component_name" |
-writer="writer_name"}]
[{-useLatest | -useEarliest}] [-ignorelogoutfail] [-email | -noemail]
[-retry=n] [-applylogs]
For a description of these parameters, see Command Parameters .
Examples
● Restore all of the volumes in place from backup document e2b3‑f1a3‑234.bcd:
> ASMCLI -restore -document=
"PSV{18A09060‑3BE0‑3FA8‑0A7A‑E4120000E045;32256}\e2b3‑f1a3‑234.bcd"
● Restore volume f:\ in place from the most recent backup document created for it:
> ASMCLI -restore -volume=F:\ -useLatest
● Restore all of the volumes in place from the oldest backup document created for the Exchange mailbox database named
MyMailboxDatabase:
> ASMCLI -restore ‑component="MyMailboxDatabase" -useEarliest
ASMCLI -selectiveRestore
Specify the ‑selectiveRestore subcommand to restore one or more selected components from a backup document. This
operation is supported for SQL Server databases and Hyper‑V virtual machines.
Use optional parameters to restore multiple volumes and control the selection of volumes, and the version of Smart Copy.
On a cluster, this command fails if:
● The target is the cluster quorum disk
● The target is a physical disk resource that has not been placed in maintenance mode
● The target is a physical disk resource that is not owned by this node
