1 Extended commands This chapter describes the extended commands provided by Application Agent. Overview of extended commands An extended command is used to reduce the effort required to perform data protection operations, such as backup or restoration. You can use extended commands to automatically perform backup and restoration, without needing to specify further complicated operations. For example, suppose that you want to back up data to a tape device by using Application Agent commands.
List of extended commands The following tables display the extended commands provided by Application Agent and provide a general explanation for each command. Table 1 List of extended commands (File system backups) Extended command name Explanation EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP Backs up a file system. EX_DRM_FS_DEF_CHECK Checks the contents of an operation definition file and automatically creates a temporary directory. EX_DRM_FS_RESTORE Restores a file system from its backup to the primary volume.
Extended command name Explanation EX_DRM_UMOUNT Unmounts a secondary volume. Table 4 List of extended commands (SQL Server database backups) Extended command name Explanation EX_DRM_SQL_BACKUP Backs up an SQL Server database. EX_DRM_SQL_DEF_CHECK Checks the contents of an operation definition file and automatically creates a temporary directory. EX_DRM_SQL_RESTORE Restores the SQL Server database from its backup to the primary volume.
Extended command formats All arguments that can be specified are described in this section. If multiple argument conditions exist, the formats are described separately for each condition. Do not mix separate formats. Viewing the format To display the extended command format, execute an extended command by specifying the -h option after the extended command name.
Extended command specifications (File system backups) This section explains the extended command specifications that apply to file system backup and restore operations.
Description This extended command backs up a file system from the primary volume to the secondary volume; the file system has the operation ID specified by executing the drmfsbackup command. At this time, the EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP command generates a backup ID. Prerequisites The prerequisite for executing this extended command is as follows: • An operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID has been provided.
• The value is case sensitive. • When a reserved character or a one-byte space character is used, the entire value must be enclosed in double quotation marks ("). • If the value contains a reserved character, but is not enclosed in double quotation marks, the reserved character is not correctly interpreted as a part of the backup comment, and is parsed as a reserved character.
Specify this option to execute a user script. Specify user-script-file-name as an absolute path. The conditions for specifying the value in the user-script-file-name parameter are as follows: • • • • The value must be 255 bytes or less. The value can include alphanumeric, one-byte space, and multi-byte characters. The value is case sensitive. If the value contains space characters, the entire value must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").
or restoration failures. The items, volumes, and conditions to be checked are described in the following table. Table 7 Status check of a secondary volume Check item A secondary volume is hidden from a backup server Volume to be checked All secondary volumes defined for a backup-target primary volume Check condition Checked when a primary volume is defined in pairs with secondary volumes of multiple generations and any of the following items is applicable: • A primary volume is a cluster resource.
EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP operation01 -mode cold • In this example, the extended command is used to back up the file system specified by the operation ID operation01 to the secondary volume, using the VSS backup method: EX_DRM_FS_BACKUP operation01 -mode vss EX_DRM_FS_DEF_CHECK (Checks the contents of an operation definition file and automatically creates a temporary directory) Formats To check the contents of an operation definition file for a file server: EX_DRM_FS_DEF_CHECK operation-ID -db To check the content
Item name Details to be checked • The mount point directory specified in INSTANCE_NAME must exist. INSTANCE_NAME • If a mount point list file is specified, both the specified file and the mount point’s directory defined in it must exist. TARGET_NAME Do not specify a value for this item by specifying TARGET_NAME=. FTP_HOME_DIR • The specified directory must exist.#1, #2 • The absolute path must be specified. • The specified directory name must not contain a delimiter character (\).
A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed. Information in the operation definition file corresponding to the specified operation ID is used when executing the extended command. -db Specify this option to check the contents of an operation definition file for a file server. -bk Specify this operation to check the contents of an operation definition file for a backup server.
Prerequisites The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows: • An operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID has been provided. • EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET or EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT has been executed, and the backup ID has been stored in the backup ID record file. Arguments operation-ID A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed.
You can create a copy parameter definition file by using a name of your choice. Specify the file name by using an alphanumeric character string that is 64 bytes or less. You must save the copy parameter definition file to the following location: Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\raid NOTE: • The backup information in the backup catalog is managed by using a copy group as a key.
Extended command specifications (Common commands) EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET (Generates a backup ID file) Format EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET operation-ID -backup_id backup-ID Description This extended command is used to generate a backup ID file that contains the specified backup ID. The command stores the file in the temporary directory for extended commands. Execute this extended command as preparation for restoring the backed up file system or the database to the primary volume.
• The system cannot acquire information from the operation definition file linked to the operation ID. • The backup ID cannot be recorded in the backup ID file. • A command executed inside the extended command encounters an error. • Information cannot be acquired from the host environment settings file. • No storage directory for extended-command temporary files is specified in the operation definition file. • The command fails to obtain the name of the directory where dictionary map files are stored.
Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • • • • An invalid option is specified. The file specified in the argument does not exist, or the system cannot access the file. An error is detected in the copy-group list file. A command executed inside the extended command encounters an error. Example • In this example, the extended command is used to check the copy-group list file C:\WORK\CGDEF.txt: EX_DRM_CG_DEF_CHECK -cg_file C:\WORK\CGDEF.
Return Values 0: Normal termination Any value other than 0: Termination with an error Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • An invalid option is specified. • The system cannot acquire information from the operation definition file linked to the operation ID. • Information cannot be acquired from the host environment settings file. • No storage directory for extended-command temporary files is specified in the operation definition file.
A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed. Information in the operation definition file corresponding to the specified operation ID is used when executing the extended command. Return Values 0: Normal termination Any value other than 0: Termination with an error Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • An invalid option is specified.
• An operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID has been provided. • This extended command is executed on the FTP client. • The files that this extended command will transmit have already been generated by executing the EX_DRM_DB_EXPORT extended command. • The EX_DRM_FS_DEF_CHECK command has been executed to create a directory on the FTP server that will contain the transferred files.
Example • In this example, the extended command is used to transfer files from the FTP server to the FTP client, based on the settings in the operation definition file operation01.
-password FTP-password For FTP-password, specify the FTP user password used when connecting to the FTP server. Return Values 0: Normal termination Any value other than 0: Termination with an error Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • An invalid option is specified. • The system cannot acquire information from the operation definition file linked to the operation ID. • A connection to the FTP server or file transmission fails.
that the contents of the HOST_ROLE and MAX_LOG_LINES entries in the host environment settings file are set as described in the table below. Table 10 Items checked in the host environment settings file Item Items checked • Both the name and value of the item are specified. • Only one item is specified. • The length of the value in characters does not exceed the maximum value. HOST_ROLE • If the -db argument is specified in the extended command, DB is specified as the item.
Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • An invalid option is specified. • The file specified in the argument does not exist, or the system cannot access the file. • The check of the contents of the file for setting up the host environment detects an abnormality. Examples • In this example, the extended command is used to check the contents of the host environment settings file C:\Program Files\drm\SCRIPT\conf\host.
If all copy groups have been used for backup processing, the command specifies the oldest copy group used for backup processing. Prerequisites The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows: • The operation definition file corresponding to the specified operation ID has been created. • The copy-group list file has already been created when copy groups are resynchronized by using the copy-group list file.
Return Values 0: Normal termination Any value other than 0: Termination with an error Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • An invalid option is specified. • The system cannot acquire information from the operation definition file linked to the operation ID. • Information cannot be acquired from the backup ID file (when no copy group is specified). • Information cannot be acquired from the copy-group list file (when the file is specified).
To clear the cache of the secondary volume when usual operation is in the split state: EX_DRM_CACHE_PURGE operation-ID { -cg copy-group | -cg_file copy-group-list-file } Description This extended command sequentially executes the drmmount and drmumount commands to clear the cache of the secondary volume.
NOTE: Before you attempt to back up the file system or the database to a secondary volume, execute this extended command for all secondary volumes of resources to be backed up. If you back up data without clearing the cache of the secondary volume, when you mount the secondary volume, the existing cache is overwritten to the secondary volume, and the backup data might be lost.
EX_DRM_MOUNT (Mounts a secondary volume) Formats To mount a volume in a basic disk configuration: EX_DRM_MOUNT operation-ID [ -copy_group copy-group-name | -force ] [ -mount_pt mount-point-directory-name ] To mount a volume in a dynamic disk configuration: EX_DRM_MOUNT operation-ID [ -mount_pt mount-point-directory-name ] [ -force ] [ -conf ] Description The EX_DRM_MOUNT command mounts a secondary volume and locks the appropriate copy group.
-copy_group copy-group-name Specifies the name of the copy group to be mounted. You must clear the system cache before backing up data. When doing so, specify a copy group from the backup server and mount the secondary volume. Then, when you unmount the secondary volume with the EX_DRM_UMOUNT command, the system cache is cleared.
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\vm\CG_MP.
-exopt Specify this option when you want to use extended functions. You must specify -exopt to specify another option. However, you can omit -exopt if you specify neither the -force nor -bup_env options. -mount_pt mount-point-directory-name Specify the name of the mount point directory on which the secondary volume is to be mounted. The secondary volume is mounted at the specified mount point, and data is backed up from the secondary volume to a tape device.
If you omit this option, the extended command terminates with an error without mounting if the following condition also holds: the copy group name, LDEV number, and SERIAL number of the primary volume, which were obtained when the file server or database server was backed up, do not match the information on the file server or database server. Specify this option when you need to forcibly mount a secondary volume using only the copy group name of the primary volume as a key.
• In this example, the extended command is used to forcibly mount the secondary volume identified by the operation ID operation01 and execute a tape device backup: EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP operation01 -exopt -backup -force EX_DRM_TAPE_RESTORE (Restores data from backup tape to the secondary volume) Formats EX_DRM_TAPE_RESTORE operation-ID -backup_id backup-ID [ -exopt [ -mount_pt mount-point-directory-name][ -raw ] [ -force ] [ -bup_env configuration-definition-file-name] ] The command can also be executed in t
• The backup ID to be specified in this extended command has already been determined by executing the drmtapecat command. • The mount point directory has been created. Take the command retry period into consideration when you execute more than one EX_DRM_TAPE_RESTORE command concurrently. For details about the settings, see the notes on command execution in the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User Guide.
When this option is omitted, the following mount point is used: Any drive not being used when the extended command is executed. -raw Specify this option when the data to be restored was backed up to a tape device as raw device data. If the target data has been backed up by the EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP extended command with the -raw option specified, this extended command executes restore processing normally even when this option is omitted.
Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • An invalid option is specified. • The system cannot acquire information from the definition file linked to the operation ID. • A specified Application Agent command option cannot be specified as an extended command option. • The system cannot acquire information from the backup ID file. • A command executed inside the extended command encounters an error.
If the secondary volume has already been mounted by the EX_DRM_MOUNT command, executing any of the following commands makes it impossible to unmount the secondary volume with the EX_DRM_UMOUNT command.
[ -svol_check ] ] Description This extended command executes the drmsqlbackup command to back up the SQL Server database of the instance that was specified by the operation ID from the primary volume to the secondary volume. When this extended command performs a backup, a backup ID is generated. If the data files, databases, and other objects of the resolved instance exist on multiple volumes, all primary volumes will be backed up to the secondary volumes.
Database of interest#1 File type of interest Backup file name Storage destination for backup files Transaction log file Same as the backup source file name Secondary volume Metafile#2 Varies depending on the VDI metafile storage directory specified with the -drmsqlinit command#3 #1: If you do not specify the –system option, only the user database is backed up. #2: This file is created when the drmsqlbackup command is executed.
• The following reserved characters cannot be used in backup comments: \ / ` | < > " * ? & ; ( ) $ A hyphen (-) cannot appear as the first character in the backup comment. If you specify two consecutive double quotation marks ("") after the -comment option, no backup comment will be registered in the backup catalog. -rc name-identifying-the-generation Use this option to specify the name identifying the generation of the copy group to be backed up.
-auto_import Specify this option to automatically transfer a backup catalog to a backup server after backing up a volume. You must specify this option together with the -s option. -auto_mount mount-point-directory-name Specify this option to automatically mount a secondary volume on a backup server after backing up a volume. You must specify this option together with the -s and -auto_import options. Specify the mount-point-directory-name parameter by using a character string that is 64 bytes or less.
• An invalid option is specified. • The system cannot acquire information from the operation definition file linked to the operation ID. • A specified Application Agent command option cannot be specified as an extended command option. • The system fails to record a backup ID in the backup ID record file. • A command executed inside the extended command encounters an error. • The command fails to obtain the name of the directory where dictionary map files are stored.
• The specified item appears only once. • The number of characters does not exceed the maximum allowable for the item. In addition, the command checks the contents of the operation definition file for the items listed in the following table.
The table below lists the directories that are automatically created by the checking tool.
Return Values 0: Normal termination Any value other than 0: Termination with an error Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • An invalid option is specified. • The file specified in the argument does not exist, or the system cannot access the file. • The system cannot access the database server (when the -db option is specified). • The system detects an error in the results of the file check. • The command fails to create a temporary directory.
To apply only metafiles to the primary volume: EX_DRM_SQL_RESTORE operation-ID -no_resync [ -undo ] [ -nochk_host ] [ -target database-name | -f database-list-file ] Description This extended command executes the drmsqlrestore command to restore backup data from the secondary volume to the primary volume for a specified database. Prerequisites The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows: • An operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID has been provided.
Specify this option to restore the database to standby mode. When you specify this option, the database can be used in the read-only mode after restoration. A temporary file is created for each database in the undo-log file storage directory registered by using the drmsqlinit command. If you do not specify this option, this extended command performs normal restoration. Immediately after normal restoration, the database will be placed in the loading status, in which you cannot use the database.
NOTE: • The backup information in the backup catalog is managed based on the use of a copy group as a key. Depending on the backup method, you might not be able to perform restoration, even though the backup data exists on the secondary volume. For further information, see the notes on running Application Agent in the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User Guide. • If ONLINE is set in CLU_MSCS_RESTORE in the Application Agent configuration definition file (init.
Description This extended command executes the drmsqllogbackup command to back up the SQL Server's transaction log linked to the specified operation ID. Prerequisites The prerequisite for executing this extended command is as follows: • An operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID has been provided. • None of the transaction log backup functions provided by SQL Server (such as BACKUP LOG and the log distribution function) are being used.
Return Values 0: Normal termination Any value other than 0: Termination with an error Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • • • • An invalid option is specified. The system cannot acquire information from the definition file linked to the operation ID. A command executed inside the extended command encounters an error. The command fails to obtain the name of the directory where dictionary map files are stored.
Arguments operation-ID A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed. Information in the operation definition file corresponding to the specified operation ID is used when executing the extended command. Return Values 0: Normal termination Any value other than 0: Termination with an error Conditions Causing an Error This extended command fails in the following cases: • An invalid option is specified.
Prerequisites The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows: • An operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID has been provided. • The temporary folder for extended commands has been created. Arguments operation-ID A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed.

Table 15 Files backed up for an Exchange Server Option Database backed up Files backed up *.edb *.stm# Data files The target file type is fixed The target file type is fixed Exchange Server storage group Exchange Server Information Store # Files with the .stm extension exist only when Exchange Server 2003 is being used. Transaction log files *.log Checkpoint files *.
-transact_log_del Specify this option to delete a committed transaction log file. By deleting the transaction log file, you can increase the amount of unused drive capacity. If you delete a transaction log file, you will no longer be able to use the -recovery option to restore any previous backups. Specify this option when you want to restore data other than the most recent backup data without specifying the -recovery option. If you are using circular logging, this option is ignored.
• When a reserved character or a one-byte space character is used, the entire value must be enclosed in double quotation marks ("). • If the value contains a reserved character, but is not enclosed in double quotation marks, the reserved character is not correctly interpreted as a part of the backup-comment string, and is parsed as a reserved character.
Specify this option to execute a user script. Specify user-script-file-name as an absolute path. The conditions for specifying a value in the user-script-file-name parameter are as follows: • • • • The value must be 255 bytes or less. The value can include alphanumeric, one-byte space, and multi-byte characters. The value is case sensitive. If the value contains space characters, the entire parameter must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").
or restoration failures. The items, volumes, and conditions to be checked are described in the following table. Table 16 Status check of a secondary volume Check item A secondary volume is hidden from a backup server Volume to be checked All secondary volumes defined for a backup-target primary volume Check condition Checked when a primary volume is defined in pairs with multiple generations of secondary volumes and any of the following items is applicable: • A primary volume is a cluster resource.
• In this example, the extended command is used first to delete the transaction log file based on the settings specified in the operation definition file operation01, and then to back up the database to the secondary volume: EX_DRM_EXG_BACKUP operation01 -transact_log_del EX_DRM_EXG_DEF_CHECK (Checks the contents of an operation definition file and automatically creates a temporary directory) Formats To check the contents of an operation definition file for a database server by specifying an operation ID:
Item name Details to be checked • The Exchange Server name or virtual server name exists. DB_SERVER_NAME • If SET_DRM_HOSTNAME is set to 1, the value of DB_SERVER_NAME matches the database server name set in DRM_DB_PATH of the Application Agent configuration definition file init.conf. INSTANCE_NAME A hyphen (-) is specified. TARGET_NAME A storage group name exists.#1 FTP_HOME_DIR • The specified directory exists.#2, #3 • An absolute path is specified.
• If the command is executed on the database server, it is able to access the domain controller of the Windows domain that manages the Exchange Server. The DNS service must be running on the database server. Arguments operation-ID A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed. Information in the operation definition file corresponding to the specified operation ID is used when executing the extended command.
EX_DRM_EXG_DEF_CHECK OP0001 -bk By specifying the operation definition file: EX_DRM_EXG_DEF_CHECK -bk -f "C:\Program Files\drm\script\conf\_OP0001.
Description This extended command executes the drmexgrestore command to restore backup data from the secondary volume to the primary volume for a specified database. Prerequisites The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows: • An operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID has been provided. • The backup ID has been stored in a backup ID file by executing either the EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET or EX_DRM_DB_IMPORT extended command.
As with the -target option, specify this option to restore specific storage groups or Information Stores. Unlike the -target option, the -f option lets you specify a target definition file, which contains all the storage groups or Information Stores to be restored. The target definition file containing the list of storage groups or Information Stores must be created before you use this option. Use an absolute path to specify the target definition file.
Specify this option to specify the VSS definition file used during a VSS backup. You can specify this option only when restoring backup data that was obtained by using VSS. If you specify this option when restoring data other than backup data obtained by using VSS, this option will be ignored. Specify the VSS-definition-file-name parameter as a file name only; do not specify the parameter as a path.
NOTE: Note the following when restoring Information Stores from backup data obtained by using VSS when using Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007: - When restoring Information Stores, if you specify both an Information Store and a storage group of the same storage group, an error will occur. - When restoring Information Stores, if you specify a storage group and an Information Store of different storage groups, the backup data is restored as storage groups and Information Stores respectively.
• In this example, the extended command is used to restore Information Store IS12 of storage group SG1, based on the settings specified in the operation definition file operation01: EX_DRM_EXG_RESTORE operation01 -resync -recovery -target SG1\IS12 EX_DRM_EXG_VERIFY (Verifies the consistency of an Exchange database) Format EX_DRM_EXG_VERIFY operation-ID [ -mount_pt mount-point-directory-name ] [ -force ] Description The EX_DRM_EXG_VERIFY extended command executes the drmmount command, the drmexgverify comm
When only a drive name is specified, this command searches for unused drives in alphabetical order, and mounts the secondary volume onto the specified drive. When a drive is specified by a path including a drive letter, this command mounts the volume onto path-specified-in-mount_point\ drive-letter-of-primary-volume\mount-point-of-primary-volume. For example, if the primary volume is mounted on M:\MNT, and S:\SVOLMNT is specified with the -mount_pt option, the secondary volume is mounted on S:SVOLMNT\M\MNT.
• The system cannot acquire information from the operation definition file linked to the operation ID. • A command executed inside the extended command encounters an error.

Before reading the basic command descriptions Note the following before reading the basic command descriptions: Do not forcibly terminate a basic command that is being executed. If you do so, the pair status of the copy group or the backup catalog might enter an unexpected status. For further information, see the description of permissions for command execution in the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User Guide.
File name Use alphanumeric characters to specify the file name. File contents The contents of the file must adhere to the following conventions: • Each parameter (file name, directory name, SQL Server database name, storage group name, or Information Store name) must be specified on one line. • Lines beginning with a hash mark (#) are assumed to be comment lines.
# Protection Manager 3.5 # Log Backup Files [SQLDB001] C:\MSSQL\BackupLog\SQLDBLog001.bak C:\MSSQL\BackupLog\SQLDBLog002.bak C:\MSSQL\BackupLog\SQLDBLog003.bak [SQLDB002] C:\MSSQL\BackupLog\SQLDB2Log001.bak C:\MSSQL\BackupLog\SQLDB2Log002.bak C:\MSSQL\BackupLog\SQLDB2Log003.bak Correspondence with Replication Manager GUI terms Some terms used in the Application Agent command line interface have different meanings from those used in the Replication Manager GUI.
Basic command specifications (File system backups) drmfsbackup (Backs up a file system to a secondary volume) Formats To perform an online backup: drmfsbackup { mount-point-directory-name | mount-point-directory-target-definition-file-name } [ -mode online ] [ -rc [ name-identifying-the-generation ]] [ -pf copy-parameter-definition-file ] [ -comment backup-comment ] [ -script user-script-file-name ] [ -s backup-server-name [ -auto_import [ -auto_mount [ mount-point-directory-name ]] ] [ -svol_check ] ] To
When the drmfsbackup command is executed on the local site and the pair status is SMPL, the command does not automatically create a pair. In this case, if the PAIR_CREATE parameter in the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is set to ENABLE, the command automatically creates a pair.
If you omit this option, online backup is assumed. -mode vss Specify this option to perform a VSS backup. To use this option, the Protection Manager service must be running on the backup server. -rc name-identifying-the-generation Use this option to specify the name identifying the generation of the copy group to be backed up. Execute the drmfsdisplay command with the -cf option, and specify the displayed GEN-NAME value. In a single volume, a hyphen (-) appears.
The following special characters cannot be used in backup comments: \ / ` | < > " * ? & ; ( ) $ Note that the first character must not be a hyphen (-). If you specify two double quotation marks after the -comment option, as in -comment "", no backup comment will be registered in the backup catalog. -vf VSS-definition-file-name Specify this option to switch the settings to be used for each VSS backup. You can use this option only when using VSS for backup.
To unmount the mounted secondary volume, use the drmumount command. -svol_check Specify this option to check the status of a secondary volume on a backup server. This option must be specified concurrently with the -s option. Checking the status of a secondary volume prevents backup or restoration failures. The items, volumes, and conditions to be checked are described in the following table.

Description This command conceals or reveals physical volumes of storage system devices connected to the server. By concealing physical volumes from the server and controlling access, you can prevent errors caused by user operations. In addition, you can conceal physical volumes and obtain backups either in Veritas Storage Foundation environments or by using Fast Snap or Snapshot, and then store multiple generations of these backups on secondary volumes.
-sigview Displays the disk signatures of the physical volumes. Use this option to restore operation when the KAVX5137-E message is output and the restoration command terminates with an error. • When a backup ID is specified with the -sigview option: The disk signature recorded when the backup was made is displayed. You can use this to compare the value of the current disk signature with the value at the time the backup was created.
• When the -sigset option and the -copy_group copy-group-name are specified at the same time, the current disk signature is updated in accordance with the specified disk signature that follows the -sigset option. In this case, a disk signature must always be specified. The disk signature to be specified differs depending on the partition style. The following table lists partition styles and corresponding disk signatures to be specified.
NOTE: A backup ID and the -copy_group option cannot be specified at the same time. If neither the backup-ID option nor the -copy_group option is specified, the secondary volumes of all copy groups managed by Application Agent will be targeted.

Before executing the drmmediarestore command, confirm the following: • The backup management product has been linked. • The drmmount command has been executed with a backup ID specified and the secondary volume to be backed up has been mounted. • The secondary volume is not in the mirror status.
Create a configuration definition file in the directory containing the default configuration definition file. For further information, see the description of configuration definition file creation in the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User Guide. NOTE: The value of NBU_MASTER_SERVER in the configuration definition file must be the same as the value that was used during the backup.
If the copy group mount definition file exists, the mount point specified in this file is used as the mount point for the secondary volume. For details about the copy group mount definition file, see the settings for mounting a secondary volume in the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User Guide. When a backup ID is specified, the copy group corresponding to the specified backup ID is locked.

Description The drmsqlinit command provides an interactive interface that lets you register the SQL Server parameters necessary to back up an SQL Server database. You can register parameters for each instance. This command registers the following information. Table 41 Parameters for the SQL Server Setting Description Use an absolute path to specify the name of the directory for storing a VDI metafile. An existing directory must be specified.
Whether the directories can be specified depends on how to specify the directories. The following table lists whether the directories can be specified.
KAVX1107-I Enter the name of the storage directory for the backup-log files: D:\MSSQL\tlog KAVX1103-I SQL Server information has been updated.
drmsqllogbackup instance-name -d [ -s log-backup-ID ] [ -e log-backup-ID ] To display the detailed information of transaction log files in the log backup catalog: drmsqllogbackup instance-name -lsn Description The drmsqllogbackup command backs up the transaction log file of a SQL server database that was backed up by using the drmsqlbackup command. Use the drmsqlinit command to set the directory to which this file is to be backed up.
-v Specify this option to display a list of the transaction log files that were backed up. Information on the backups of the transaction log files acquired after the backup ID specified together will be displayed. You can take the information displayed by this option, and use it as a transaction log target definition file. BACKUP-ID Specify BACKUP-ID to display the backup IDs of the backups for the specified instance.
-e log-backup-ID Specify this option to set the end of the range of the transaction log backup files to be deleted or displayed. Use this option with the -s option to specify the start and end of this range. Specifying the -e option alone sets the range from the first log backup ID to the log backup ID specified with the -e option. Possible log backup ID values are 0001 through 9999. -lsn Specify this option to display the detailed information of the transaction log files in the log backup catalog.
NOTE: This command cannot be applied to the system databases (master, msdb, model, tempdb, and distribution). After a database has been restored, the log backup for different recovery paths are mixed and displayed. For the instance that is the target of this command, if the drmsqlbackup command of Application Agent 6.3.0-00 or later has been executed for the instance, you can back up the transaction logs entries associated with a backup ID, regardless of whether the backup catalog exists.

During command execution, from another computer such as an application server, you should not connect to the database that was restored. If another server connects to the database during command execution, the command might fail. Arguments instance-name Specify the database instance to be recovered. If the instance to be recovered is the default, specify DEFAULT. -target database-names Specify this option to recover specific databases.
When the -loading option is specified, because no temporary files are created as with the -undo option, you do not need to create the temporary file storage directory beforehand. If both the -undo option and -loading option are omitted, the database can be fully accessed after recovery, but any subsequent transaction logs are not applied.

Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2013: The entire database or an Information Store can be backed up. Before you execute the drmexgbackup command, make sure that the database files and log files are stored in separate copy groups. Before this command is executed, the system cache of the secondary volume must be cleared. Mount or unmount the secondary volume on the backup server to clear the system cache.
• Mounting and unmounting the disk drive. After performing a backup with this option, use the drmexgverify command to verify the integrity of the backup data. -mode vss Specify this option to perform a backup by using VSS. To use this option, the Protection Manager service must be running on the backup server. NOTE: The online backup, when used together with the -mode online option, forcibly copies the target data from the primary volume to the secondary volume without unmounting the Information Store.
Use this option to specify the name identifying the generation of the copy group to be backed up. Execute the drmexgdisplay command with the -cf option, and specify the displayed GEN-NAME value. In a single volume, a hyphen (-) appears. In this case, you cannot specify the -rc option. Always specify this option when backing up from a primary volume to a secondary volume on the remote side. If this option is omitted, the secondary volume on the local side is backed up.
The Windows event log is searched before the copy pair is resynchronized. If an event indicating a corrupt database is detected, the command terminates in an error. Application Agent determines that a database is corrupt by the following event details: • • • • • Event category: Application Type: Error Source: ESE Event ID: No limitation Character string being included: -1018, -1019, or -1022 -comment backup-comment Specify this option to register a backup comment in the backup catalog.

The following explains the command processing for restoration in a non-cluster configuration. 1. If the restored database was mounted, the database will be unmounted automatically. If the unmount of the file system fails, an error message will be displayed, and restoration processing error occurs. 2. After the database is stopped properly, and the file system confirms that unmount was successful, the backup data will be restored from the secondary volume to the primary volume by disk resynchronization.
To specify multiple Information Store names, use a comma to separate each Information Store name. Use double quotation marks (") to enclose any Information Store names that contain at least one space character. If this option is omitted, all Information Stores on the server on which this command is executed will be restored.
within the storage group that is the restoration target have been specified, you can restore backup data even without specifying the -recovery option. If the -recovery option is not used to restore a backup obtained by cold backup, the -recovery option cannot be used for backups obtained after the restored cold backup. -pf copy-parameter-definition-file Specify this option when using the number of retries and the retry interval defined in the copy parameter definition file.
NOTE: The backup information in the backup catalog is managed based on using the copy group as a key. Depending on the backup method, you might not be able to perform restoration, even though the backup data exists on the secondary volume. For further information, see the notes on running Application Agent in the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User Guide.
