For details about creating user script files, see the HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent
CLI User Guide.
If you specify LOCATION=REMOTE in the user script file, you must also specify the -s option.
-s backup-server-name
Specify this option to connect to a remote backup server to perform a backup. Specify the
backup-server-name parameter by using the host name or the IP address of the backup server.
Specify the host name by using a character string that is 255 bytes or less. You can specify the IP
address in IPv4 or IPv6 format.
If you specify a backup server by using the -s option, the backup server names specified in the VSS
definition file (vsscom.conf) and in the VSS definition file specified by using the -vf option are
ignored, and the backup server name specified in the -s option is used.
-auto_import
Specify this option to automatically transfer a backup catalog to a backup server after backing up a
volume. You must specify this option together with the -s option.
-auto_mount mount-point-directory-name
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. This destination is determined in the same way as when using
the drmmount command without specifying a mount point.
Execute the drmumount command to unmount the mounted secondary volume. In the argument of
the drmumount command, specify the backup ID.
-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.
Table 16 Status check of a secondary volume
Check condition
Volume to be
checked
Check item
Checked if primary volumes are defined in pairs with multiple
generations of secondary volumes and if at least one of the
following conditions is satisfied:
• A primary volume is a cluster resource.
• A backup using VSS is performed.
All secondary
volumes defined for
a backup-target
primary volume
A secondary volume
is hidden from a
backup server
Always checked.
The secondary
volume to be the next
backup destination
A secondary volume
is not mounted on a
backup server
