HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI Reference Guide (TK981-96014, May 2014)

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.
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.
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 XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI User
Guide.
The copy group locked by EX_DRM_MOUNT is unlocked by the EX_DRM_UMOUNT command. Therefore,
if a secondary volume was mounted using the EX_DRM_MOUNT command, make sure that you unmount
it by using the EX_DRM_UMOUNT command.
You cannot mount the secondary volume if it has not been formatted as a file system, nor can you
mount mirrored secondary volumes.
The EX_DRM_MOUNT command can mount secondary volumes that are subject to disk-group
configuration backup and restoration by the volume manager. To mount a secondary volume in a
dynamic disk configuration (the equivalent of a disk group) in a Veritas Storage Foundation
environment, a copy group mount definition file must be created in advance. You can automatically
create a copy group mount definition file by executing the drmmount command with the -conf
option specified.
In the following cases, the EX_DRM_MOUNT command outputs a message and results in an error,
without mounting the secondary volume:
• The command is executed on a host where the secondary volume cannot be referenced.
• The copy group name, LDEV number, and DKC serial number of the primary volume obtained at
backup execution do not match the current backup server information.
• The command is executed for a paired secondary volume (PAIR).
Arguments
operation-ID
A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed.
