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.
When a backup ID is specified, the copy group corresponding to the specified backup ID is locked.
Because copy groups locked by the drmmount are unlocked by the drmumount command, when
you use the drmmount command to mount a secondary volume, be sure to use the drmumount
command to unmount it.
The secondary volume that is not formatted as a file system or that is in the mirror status cannot be
mounted.
The drmmount command can be used to mount secondary volumes that are backup or restoration
targets configured as a disk group 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. This file is created automatically when
the drmmount command is executed with the -conf option specified.
In the following cases, this command outputs a message, and results in an error without mounting the
secondary volume:
• You execute this command on a host that cannot reference the secondary volume.
• The primary volume's copy group name, LDEV number and DKC serial number that were acquired
when the backup was executed does not match the information on the current backup server.
• You execute this command on the secondary volume in the paired status (PAIR).
Arguments
-copy_group copy-group-name
Specify the name of the copy group to mount. The system cache must be cleared before a data backup.
Specify the copy group from the backup server to mount the secondary volume, and then unmount
the secondary volume by using the drmumount command to clear the system cache.
If the -copy_group option is specified with a dynamic disk configuration in a Veritas Storage
Foundation environment, you must create a copy group mount definition file in advance.
To check the name of a copy group, execute either the drmfscat command or the drmfsdisplay
command.
-mount_pt mount-point-directory-name
Use an absolute path to specify the mount point directory to which the secondary volume is to be
mounted.
Specify the drive letter as the mount point directory name or specify the absolute path from the drive
letter.
• Maximum number of characters: Path lengths to be specified must comply with the specifications
of the mount and unmount functions provided by RAID Manager.
• Characters: Characters that can be used for directory names in Windows (you cannot use spaces)
If you specify a drive for the mount point directory name, the command searches for unused drive
names in alphabetical order beginning from the specified drive, and then mounts the secondary
volume on the first found drive.
If you specify an absolute path from the drive letter as the mount point directory name, the command
mounts the secondary volume on the following location:
When mounting the secondary volume by specifying the copy group name:
