Preface
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 (\).

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 Notes • 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.

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.
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. • The backup ID cannot be acquired from the backup ID file (when the copy group is not specified). • Information cannot be acquired from the copy-group list file (when the file is specified).
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. Use this command as follows: • Mount the secondary volume to be backed up or restored. • Clear the system cache before backing up the secondary volume. • Mount the secondary volume that is unmounted after it has been backed up or restored.
Specify a mount point directory name with a drive letter, or as an absolute path beginning with a drive letter. The conditions for specifying a mount point directory name are as follows: • Maximum number of characters: Path lengths to be specified must comply with the specifications of the mount and unmount functions provided by RAID Manager.
EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP (Backs up data such as a secondary volume to a tape device) Formats EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP operation-ID [ -exopt [ -mount_pt mount-point-directory-name ] [ -raw ][ -force ] [ -bup_env configuration-definition-file-name ]] The command can also be executed in the following format: EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP operation-ID [ -mount_pt mount-point-directory-name ][ -raw] Description This extended command executes the drmmount, drmmediabackup, and drmumount commands, mounts the secondary volume at a speci
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. Specify the mount point directory name by using an absolute path or a drive letter.
replaced because of a failure or other reason, or when an LDEV number or SERIAL number was changed. Data might be lost if you specify this option for a normal backup operation. -bup_env configuration-definition-file-name Specify this option if you want to use a startup parameter in a user-created configuration definition file when backing up to or restoring from a tape device. If you omit this option, the default configuration definition file is used.
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 the following format: EX_DRM_TAPE_RESTORE operation-ID -backup_id backup-ID [ -mount_pt mount-point-directory-name][ -raw ] Description This extended command executes the drmmount, drmmediarestore, and drmumount comman
command execution in the HP P9000 Replication Manager Software Application Agent CLI User Guide. 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. -backup_id backup-ID For backup-ID, specify the backup ID of the backup you want to use for restoration.
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. If this option is specified when the target data was backed up without the -raw option specified, an error occurs for this extended command. -force Specify this option to forcibly mount the secondary volume.
• The command fails to obtain the name of the directory where dictionary map files are stored. Examples • In this example, the extended command is used to restore the backup data identified by the operation ID operation01 from a tape device to the secondary volume. 0000000001 is the backup ID that was created when this data was backed up to the tape device. The secondary volume is mounted on drive E:.
Arguments operation-ID A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed. -copy_group copy-group-name Specifies the name of the copy group (mounted by the EX_DRM_MOUNT command) to be unmounted. You must clear the system cache before backing up data. To do so, specify a copy group from the backup server and mount the secondary volume with the EX_DRM_MOUNT command. Then, when you unmount the secondary volume with the EX_DRM_UMOUNT command, the system cache is cleared.
The table below indicates the files that are backed up.
If you registered a VDI metafile storage directory by using the drmsqlinit command, the backup file is stored in the registered directory. The file name is backup-ID_database-ID.dmp. If you did not register a VDI metafile storage directory by using the drmsqlinit command, the backup file is stored in the directory that contains the file with the smallest management number (file_id) value for the SQL Server in the database file. The file name is META_databaseID.dmp.
If you omit the name-identifying-the-generation parameter, the secondary volume that has the smallest value among the generation numbers on the remote side becomes the backup destination. In this case, the generation number is remote_n, where n is the smallest generation number. -pf copy-parameter-definition-file Specify this option to use the number of retries and retry interval defined in the copy parameter definition file.
-svol_check Specify this option to check the status of a secondary volume on a backup server. You must specify this option together 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.
EX_DRM_SQL_BACKUP operation01 -system EX_DRM_SQL_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: EX_DRM_SQL_DEF_CHECK operation-ID -db To check the contents of an operation definition file for a backup server by specifying an operation ID: EX_DRM_SQL_DEF_CHECK operation-ID -bk To check the contents of an operation definition file
Entry name Checked contents • A database connection can be established by executing a combination of DB_SERVER_NAME and INSTANCE_NAME DB_SERVER_NAME INSTANCE_NAME • The value of DB_SERVER_NAME matches the database server name set in DRM_DB_PATH of the Application Agent configuration definition file init.
Where EX_DRM_SQL_DEF_CHECK is executed Temporary directory for extended commands VDI metafile storage directory Backup server directory-specified-forFTP_HOME_DIR\directory-specifiedfor-FTP_SUB_DIR\operation-ID\BK directory-specifiedfor-FTP_HOME_DIR\directory-specified-forFTP_SUB_DIR\operationID\AP Prerequisites The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows: • The account of the user currently logged into Windows must be allowed to connect to the database server.
• The system detects an error in the results of the file check. • The command fails to create a temporary directory. • The command fails to obtain the name of the directory where dictionary map files are stored. Examples • In this example, the extended command is used to check the contents of the operation definition file C:\Program Files\drm\SCRIPT\conf\_OP0001.
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. Arguments operation-ID A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed.
This option is not available when you restore a system database (master, model, msdb, or distribution). Note When you specify the -nochk_host option, confirm that backup data is restored on the appropriate host, because the validity of the host name in the backup catalog is not checked when restoring backup data. -target database-name Specify this option to restore instances containing the specified databases. The databases you specify must be found in the backup catalog specified by the backup ID.
• 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. • The command fails to obtain the name of the directory where dictionary map files are stored.
When the transaction log backup obtained by specifying this option is displayed by the -v option, a hyphen (-) is displayed for ORIGINAL-ID and BACKUP-ID. -no_truncate Specify this option to perform a backup without truncating the transaction log. If a failure occurs, even if the database data file is damaged (provided that the transaction log is not damaged), the transaction log backup can be obtained by specifying this option.
Description This extended command deploys the SQL Server metafiles from the temporary directory for extended commands to the directory indicated below.
EX_DRM_SQLFILE_EXTRACT operation01 EX_DRM_SQLFILE_PACK (Saves SQL Server metafiles) Format EX_DRM_SQLFILE_PACK operation-ID Description This extended command saves SQL Server metafiles in the following directory to the temporary directory for extended commands.
Example • In this example, the command backs up SQL Server metafiles based on the settings specified in the operation definition file operation01: EX_DRM_SQLFILE_PACK operation01 Extended command specifications (Exchange database backups) This section explains the extended command specifications that apply to Exchange database backup and restore operations.
[ [ [ [ [ [ -event_check ] [ -comment backup-comment ] -rc [ name-identifying-the-generation ]] -pf copy-parameter-definition-file ] -vf VSS-definition-file-name ] -script user-script-file-name ] -s backup-server-name [ -auto_import [ -auto_mount [ mount-point-directory-name ]] ] [ -svol_check] ] Description This extended command executes the drmexgbackup command, which backs up the Exchange database that is in the storage group or Information Store specified by the operation ID from the primary volume t
Arguments operation-ID A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed. Information in the operation definition file linked to the specified operation ID is used when executing an extended command. -mode cold Specify this option to perform a cold backup of an Exchange database. If you omit this option, a cold backup (-mode cold) is the default. -mode online Specify this option to perform an online backup of an Exchange database.
-event_check Specify this option to check whether an event indicating a corrupted database has been recorded. The command executed with this option searches the Windows event log data that was recorded since the last backup of an Exchange database. If no previous backup is available, all data recorded in the Windows event log is searched. 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.
If you omit this option, the value in the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is used. The values in the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) are used for any parameters that are not included in the copy parameter definition file. 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.
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 value by using a character string that is 64 bytes or less. If you omit the mount-point-directory-name parameter, a mount destination for a secondary volume is automatically determined.
• 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.
In addition, the command checks the contents in the operation definition file for the items listed in the table below. Table 17 Contents checked in the operation definition file Item name Details to be checked BACKUP_OBJECT MSEXCHANGE is specified. • 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.
Prerequisites The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows: • Application Agent commands can be executed by a user account currently logged on to Windows. • 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.
• In this example, the extended command is used to check the contents of the operation definition file C:\Program Files\drm\SCRIPT\conf\_OP0001.dat for a backup server: By specifying an operation ID: 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.
[ -vf VSS-definition-file-name ] [ -ef Exchange-environment-setting-file ] 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.
is not case sensitive. If you omit this option, all storage groups on the server on which this command was executed will be restored. -f target-definition-file-name 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.
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\raid -vf VSS-definition-file-name 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.
• If ONLINE is set in CLU_MSCS_RESTORE in the Application Agent configuration definition file (init.conf), restoration can be performed while the cluster resources are online. 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.
When using EX_DRM_TAPE_BACKUP to back up the Exchange database from a secondary volume onto a tape device, execute this extended command to prepare for the tape device backup. If an error is detected in the consistency of the Exchange database, you must re-execute the backup to the secondary volume. Prerequisites The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows: • The backup catalog to be verified by this extended command has been imported to the backup server.
If you omit this option, a drive that is not being used when the extended command is executed is used as the mount point. -force Specify this option to perform a forced mount. If you specify this option together with the -mount_pt option, you must specify the options in the following order: -mount_pt, -force. If the copy group name of the primary volume obtained at the time of backup processing on the database server matches the information on the database server, forced resynchronization is performed.
2 Basic commands This chapter describes the basic commands provided by Application Agent. List of basic commands The table below lists the basic commands that Application Agent provides. Table 19 List of basic commands (file system backups) Basic command name Function summary drmfsbackup Backs up a file system to a secondary volume. drmfscat Displays a list of the backup information for a file system. • Displays a list of file system information. drmfsdisplay • Updates the dictionary map files.

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.
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\fs\APP1 Contents of the mount point directory target definition file: D: E: F:\MNT • In this example, the command is used to perform an online backup to a remote site: PROMPT> drmfsbackup F: -rc remote_0 • In this example, the command is used to back up by using VSS: PROMPT> drmfsbackup H: -mode vss KAVX0001-I The drmfsbackup command will now start. KAVX0019-I Copying file(s) now... KAVX5108-I Resynchronizing a copy group.
Displayed item Description ORIGINAL-ID Original backup ID obtained by the drmfsbackup command START-TIME Start time of a snapshot backup END-TIME End time of a snapshot backup HOSTNAME Server name where the snapshot backup was performed Object type T (F, which means file, is always displayed.
Displayed item Description BACKUP-COMMENT Backup comment #1 If this command is executed with the -device option, DEVICE will be displayed after T. #2 This information is displayed when the command is executed with the -v option. A hyphen (-) is displayed for any item that cannot be displayed. If no items can be displayed, an error message is displayed. Each item is separated by a space.
Specify this option to display backup information for specific files or directories on the file system specified by the mount-point-directory-name argument. Create a target definition file that contains a list of absolute paths of the mount point directories, drives, or volume mount points for which you want to display information. By specifying the target definition file name, you can collectively specify all of the targets for which you want to display information.
character but is not enclosed in double quotation marks, the special character is not properly handled as a part of the backup-comment string and is parsed as a special character.

Description The drmsqlrecover command recovers a database restored by the drmsqlrestore command. This command applies transaction logs that are specified in a target definition file for transaction logs or acquired during backup, and performs roll-forward recovery processing. 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.
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. -loading Specify this to place the database in the loading status after recovery. In this status, transaction logs can continue to be applied. 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.
Figure 1 drmsqlrecovertool dialog box INSTANCE Displays the instance name specified for the drmsqlrecovertool command. The command will recover this instance. To change the instance, close the drmsqlrecovertool dialog box, and then re-execute the drmsqlrecovertool command. Transaction log backup list Displays a list of transaction log backup files that apply to the database selected in Target database. Use the Add button to add a file to this list. Use the Delete button to delete a file.
Roll forward? Select whether or not to perform a roll-forward during recovery. If No is selected, the Transaction log backup list becomes inactive. Recovery takes place without a roll forward, even when transaction log backup files are displayed. Add button Choose this button to add a transaction log file to be applied. This button adds the selected file to the files selected in Transaction log backup list. The files are sorted by name (not including file extensions and paths) and added.

2. 3. The command performs disk resynchronization to restore the backup data from a secondary volume to the primary volume. The command brings the disk resource online, and then brings the cluster resource, including databases, online. If ONLINE is set in CLU_MSCS_RESTORE in the Application Agent configuration definition file (init.conf), you can perform restoration of a user database while the cluster resources are online by specifying the -resync option.
