3 Parameters

3.1 Access to a physical machine

3.1.1 host

--host=<IP address or hostname>

Specifies the machine running an Acronis service to connect to. If not specified, the command-line

utility connects to the local host.

Examples:

--host=server1

--host=192.168.1.2

3.1.2 service

--service={mms|ams|asn}

Specifies the Acronis service to connect to.

If not specified, the command-line utility connects to the agent service (Acronis Managed Machine

Service, MMS). To connect to a storage node or the management server, you must explicitly specify

the asn or the ams service using the --service parameter. This parameter is required even if an

agent is not installed on that server or is unable to execute the command by design.

Example

acrocmd validate archive --loc=bsp://<storage node>/<vault name> --arc=<archive name>

 You can run this command on a machine where an agent and the command-line utility are

installed. The command-line utility connects to the local agent. The agent addresses a storage

node.

acrocmd validate archive --loc=bsp://<storage node>/<vault name> --arc=<archive name>

--host=<storage node> --credentials=<user name>,<password> --service=asn

 You can run this command on a machine where only the command-line utility is installed. In this

case, the command-line utility connects directly to a storage node.

In both cases validation will be performed by a storage node, using that node's CPU resource.

3.1.3 address

--address=<IP address or hostname>

Specifies a machine registered on the management server.

Some commands can be applied to multiple machines. This is done by separating the machine

addresses with commas. Such commands include backup disk (p. 19), backup file (p. 24),

recover disk (p. 20), recover mbr (p. 22), recover file (p. 25), create asz (p. 55), delete

asz (p. 57), activate asrm (p. 58), and deactivate asrm (p. 58). The operation will be executed
