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.dat that is placed on the file server or
the database server:
EX_DRM_HOST_DEF_CHECK -db -f "C:\Program Files\drm\SCRIPT\conf\host.dat"
• 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.dat that is placed on the backup server:
EX_DRM_HOST_DEF_CHECK -bk -f "C:\Program Files\drm\SCRIPT\conf\host.dat"
EX_DRM_RESYNC (Resynchronizes a copy group)
Formats
To resynchronize the copy group when usual operation is in the pair status:
EX_DRM_RESYNC operation-ID
[ -copy_size copy-track-size ]
[ -pf copy-parameter-definition-file ]
To resynchronize more than one copy group when usual operation is in the split state:
EX_DRM_RESYNC operation-ID
{ -cg copy-group | -cg_file copy-group-list-file }
[ -copy_size copy-track-size ]
[ -pf copy-parameter-definition-file ]
Description
The EX_DRM_RESYNC command executes the drmresync command and resynchronizes copy groups.
Executing this extended command before you back up a file system or the database to the secondary
volume increases the speed of backup processing.
When usual operation is in the pair status, the specified copy group is resynchronized based on the
backup ID created when data is backed up from the primary volume to the secondary volume. When
usual operation is in the split state, you need to specify the copy group to be resynchronized because
the copy group needs to be resynchronized before the backup. The copy group to be resynchronized
is selected from the execution result of the drmcgctl or drmfscat command.
If there is a copy group that has not been used for backup processing, the extended command
automatically specifies that copy group. If none of the copy groups has been used for backup
processing, the command specifies the first copy group in the pair definitions.
