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
DescriptionSetting
Use an absolute path to specify the name of the
directory for storing a VDI metafile. An existing
directory must be specified.
If you do not specify any value as the VDI metafile
storage directory, the VDI metafiles will be stored in
the same location as the data files of the SQL Server
database. To easily manage VDI metafiles, HP
recommends that you do not specify a VDI metafile
storage directory.
VDI metafile storage directory (optional)
#1
The timeout interval in seconds, used when a VDI
metafile is generated.
The specifiable range is from 0 to 3600. When you
specify 0, the waiting status continues indefinitely until
a VDI metafile is generated.
VDI generation timeout interval (in seconds) (required)
Use an absolute path to specify the name of the direct-
ory for storing an undo file. An existing directory must
be specified.
UNDO file storage directory (optional)
#2
Specify the backup destination for the transaction log
file backed up with the drmsqllogbackup com-
mand. Use an absolute path to specify the directory
name. Specify a location other than a primary volume
containing databases and a secondary volume con-
taining databases.
Transaction log backup file storage directory (option-
al)
#3
#1
You cannot specify the directory containing the SQL Server database configuration definition file
(instance-name.dat, in which parameters are registered) for the VDI metafile storage directory.
#2
If nothing is specified for the UNDO file storage directory, and the drmsqlrestore command
or drmsqlrecover command is executed with the -undo option specified, an error message
appears, indicating that no parameters have been specified for the drmsqlinit command. The
same message will be displayed if Standby is specified for Recovery Mode, in the drmsqlrecov-
ertool dialog box.
If this error message is displayed, use the drmsqlinit command to set the UNDO file storage
directory. Note that you cannot specify the directory containing the SQL Server database config-
uration definition file (instance-name.dat, in which parameters are registered) for the UNDO
file storage directory.
#3
If nothing is specified for the transaction log backup file storage directory, and the drmsqllog-
backup command is executed, an error message appears, indicating that no parameters are set
for the drmsqlinit command. If this message is displayed, use the drmsqlinit command to
set the transaction log backup file storage directory.
