Users Guide

• One or more mount point paths at which the volumes in the Smart Copy backup document should be mounted. Each path is
delimited by a semicolon (;).
• When specifying the ‑location parameter, you can enter either the wildcard, or a semicolon‑delimited list that can contain both
drive letters and path names of mount points. The ‑location parameter is optional for everything but template volumes.
• To omit a Smart Copy, enter a semicolon at its position in the list. If any path variables contain embedded spaces, you must enclose
the variable in quotation marks ("").
• The list of volumes in an existing collection is sorted into ascending alphabetical order when the Smart Copy is created.
For example, if the Smart Copy set contains volumes originally mounted at E:\, F:\Mount Point A , and G:\ and the
‑location=T:\;S:\;H:\ then the Smart Copies of volumes E:\ will be mounted as T:\, F:\Mount Point A will be mounted
as S:\, and G:\ will be mounted as H:\.
locationroot= "[{drive_letter | mount_point}]"
• Used with: smart, mount subcommands
• Specify the -locationroot= parameter with a drive letter or mount point. The locationroot represents a tree of all the mount
points needed to mount every volume in the Smart Copy.
• If any path variables contain embedded spaces, you must enclose the variable in quotation marks ("").
newname=
• Used with: modifycollection subcommand
• Specifies a new collection name. This name must be valid and not be identical to another existing collection name. If a collection is
renamed, and Smart Copies and Schedules of the collection will be updated to refer to the renamed collection. Schedule names will
not be automatically modified, but can be changed by selecting the Modify Schedule option for the affected schedule.
NoEmail
• Used with: smart, verify, delete, restore, selectiverestore, unmount, and mount subcommands
• Specifying this parameter will ensure that you do not receive an email notification when alerts are triggered. This parameter is set by
default for delete, restore, selectiverestore, unmount, and mount subcommands. To receive an email notification for
these subcommands, specify the email parameter.
nosignatureupdate
• Used with: breaksmartcopy subcommand
• Specifying this parameter will only reset the volume attributes (HIDDEN, READONLY, SHADOWCOPY, and
NO_DEFAULT_DRIVE_LETTER), and not the disk signature.
NOTE: If you do not specify this parameter, both the disk signature and the volume attributes will be reset.
objectID=
• Used with: smart, mount, unmount, restore, properties, delete, and selectiveRestore subcommands
• Specify the ‑objectID= parameter with an object identifier for an existing object. Use the ‑list command to display object
identifiers.
For example:
ASMCLI ‑list ‑volumes ‑collections ‑components ‑showObjectID
• Depending on the operation that you want to perform, specify one of the following parameter values:
• Volume Operations — Specify a PS Series volume identifier (Ps Vol ID). A volume identifier has the following format:
Psv{hex‑string} For example:
Psv{18a09060‑3be0‑3fa8‑0a7a‑e4120000e045;32256}
You can obtain the Ps Vol ID from the ASM/ME GUI Volumes node by browsing an individual volume’s properties.
Alternatively, use the following command to display the Ps Vol ID for all supported volumes:
ASMCLI ‑list ‑volumes ‑showobjectid
• Application Component Operations — Specify a component name. A component name has the following format:
Component{hex‑string }. For example:
Component{38951b83‑4249‑4a16‑8962‑563d8de79c92}
You can obtain the component name from the ASM/ME GUI Applications node by browsing an individual component’s properties.
