For a description of these parameters, see Command Parameters.
NOTE: You can get the object ID for any supported component, volume, and collection by executing the –list command
with the –components, ‑volume, ‑collections, and –showObjectID options.
Examples
● Restore the specified components (SQL Server DB1 and DB3) from backup document 6666‑7777‑888.bcd:
> ASMCLI -selectiverestore -document="C:\BackupDocs\Shadows\
PSV{11111111‑2222‑3333‑4444‑555555555555}\6666‑7777‑888.bcd" -
selections="Component{mysqlserver_DB1}; Component{mysqlserver_DB3}"
● Restore the Hyper‑V virtual machine with object ID Component{2F27806B‑9BBB‑4194‑A61E‑59D14831483F} from
backup document 6666‑7777‑888.bcd:
> ASMCLI -selectiverestore -document="C:\BackupDocs\Shadows\
PSV{11111111‑2222‑3333‑4444‑555555555555}\6666‑7777‑888.bcd" -
selections="Component{2F27806B‑9BBB‑4194‑A61E‑59D14831483F}"
ASMCLI -shutdownsystray
By default, ASM/ME displays warning icons in the Taskbar Notification area. Each warning icon is associated with a pop‑up
message describing an ASM/ME event, such as a failed Checksum Verification operation. See Alerts and Event Notification for
more information.
Example
Stop event notification and remove any current event warning icons:
> ASMCLI –shutdownsystray
ASMCLI -shutdownverifier
The -shutdownverifier subcommand accepts one optional parameter: –timeout= nnn.
The variable nnn is an integer in the range 0–999 specifying the number of seconds that ASMCLI should wait for the Global
Verification task to terminate.
ASMCLI -smart
Specify the ‑smart subcommand to create a snapshot, clone, or replica of an object such as a volume. You can use this
command only on supported components residing on PS Series storage arrays.
Use the ‑list command to obtain information about available objects and their object identifiers.
NOTE:
This command fails on a cluster if the target is the cluster quorum disk or is a physical disk resource not owned by the
cluster node on which you execute the command.
