9 HP 3PAR SRA for the VMware SRM 5.5 utility
HP 3PAR SRA supports the command line interface TPDSrm.exe. VMware vCenter Site Recovery
Manager requests are sent via a Perl script command.pl in the HP 3PAR SRA installed directory.
The Perl script internally processes the data to an XML file and spawns an instance of TPDSrm.exe
to process the XML file. The XML file is removed once TPDSrm.exe returns to command.pl.
The HP 3PAR Storage Replication Adapter for VMware SRM 5.5 utility supports the following
options:
Syntax
• To obtain current version number of the SRA:
TPDSrm.exe <-v>
• To remove all test snapshots from the specified HP 3PAR Storage system:
TPDSrm.exe cleansnaps <-sys StorageSystemName -user UserName -pass
Password [-loglevel Num]>
• To view all state cached on local system:
TPDSrm.exe viewstate
• To remove a particular state cached for a Remote Copy group on the specified HP 3PAR
storage system on local system:
TPDSrm.exe cleanstate <-sysid StorageSystemID> <-rcgroup RCGroupName>
• To view or modify log file setting information:
TPDSrm.exe log [-size LogSize] [-cnt Num]
