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

• 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 re-
served character is not correctly interpreted as a part of the backup comment, and is parsed as
a reserved character.
• The following reserved characters cannot be used in backup comments: \ / ` | < > " * ?
& ; ( ) $
A hyphen (-) cannot appear as the first character in the backup comment. If you specify two consecutive
double quotation marks ("") after the -comment option, no backup comment will be registered in
the backup catalog.
-rc name-identifying-the-generation
Use this option to specify the name identifying the generation of the copy group to be backed up.
For name-identifying-the-generation, specify the GEN-NAME value displayed by executing
the drmfsdisplay command with the -cf option specified. For single volumes, a hyphen (-) is
displayed. In this case, the -rc option cannot be specified.
Always specify this option when backing up from a primary volume to a secondary volume on the
remote side. If this option is omitted, the secondary volume on the local side is backed up.
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 the retry interval defined in the copy parameter
definition file. Specify the copy-parameter-definition-file parameter as a file name only;
do not specify the parameter as a path.
If this option is omitted, the value in the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is used.
The values in this file are used for any parameters that are not coded 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. You must save the copy parameter
definition file in the following location:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\raid
-vf VSS-definition-file-name
Specify this option to switch the backup settings used for each VSS backup. You can specify this
option only when you are using VSS to perform a backup.
Specify the VSS-definition-file-name parameter as a file name only; do not specify the
parameter as a path. You must save the VSS definition file specified in this option in the following
folder:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\vss
If you omit this option, the command uses the following file as the VSS definition file:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\vsscom.conf
For details about the VSS definition file, see the HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI
User Guide.
