- Index
This subcommand outputs the timestamp for when the Smart Copy set was created, as well as the relative backup document
pathname for each backup document that supports the restore and selective restore commands. A summary line
reports the total number of documents found, and the number of documents that are usable for the restore commands
supported for the Smart Copy source object.
The document pathname can be used for the ‑document parameter of the restore commands. The pathname does not
include the shadows folder portion of the path.
Command Syntax
ASMCLI -enumerateSmartCopies
[{-volume={"drive_letter" |"mount_point"} |
-component="component_name"} |
-collection="collection_name" |
-writer="writer_name" |
-objectID="identifier"]
For a description of these parameters, see Command Parameters.
Example
Enumerate all of the backup documents for component DB1:
> ASMCLI -enumerateSmartCopies -component=DB1
ASMCLI -help
Specify the -asmcli ‑help subcommand to view all of the commands in the ASMCLI, including the parameters and options
that can be specified for each one. Entering -asmcli -? will also retrieve the same information.
Command Syntax
ASMCLI -asmcli -help
You can also type the following command:
> ASMCLI -asmcli -?
ASMCLI -list
Specify the ‑list subcommand to identify supported volumes, collections, and components. You can also obtain an object’s
unique identifiers and use the identifiers as required in commands or scripts.
You can obtain additional properties for the volumes, components, and collections by using the ‑showprops parameter.
Use the redirect option (>) in the Windows command prompt to save the output from the ‑list command to a file for later
editing.
On a cluster, the ‑list command shows only the volumes and components for the node on which you execute the command
that owns the related physical disk resources.
Command Syntax
ASMCLI -list
-volumes
-collections
-components
-showObjectID
