Specify this option to restore the database to standby mode. When you specify this option, the
database can be used in the read-only mode after restoration. A temporary file is created for each
database in the undo-log file storage directory registered by using the drmsqlinit command.
If you do not specify this option, this extended command performs normal restoration. Immediately
after normal restoration, the database will be placed in the loading status, in which you cannot use
the database.
-nochk_host
Specify this option to restore the data to a host other than the one specified in the drmsqlbackup
command. This option is useful when the host name has been changed, or when the log distribution
function in SQL Server is used.
This option is not available when you restore a system database (master, model, msdb, or distribution).
NOTE:
When you specify the -nochk_host option, confirm that backup data is restored on the appropriate
host, because the validity of the host name in the backup catalog is not checked when restoring backup
data.
-target database-name
Specify this option to restore instances containing the specified databases. The databases you specify
must be found in the backup catalog specified by the backup ID. If you specify a database not found
in that backup catalog, this extended command does not restore the database. When you want to
specify more than one database, use a comma to separate each file or directory name.
If you specify neither this option nor the -f option, this extended command restores the entire instance
specified by the backup ID.
-f database-list-file
In the same way as the -target option, specify this option to restore the instances containing the
specified databases. Unlike -target, this option uses an argument that is the name of a file that
contains a list of databases you want to restore. This list file must be created beforehand. Specify the
target-definition-file-name parameter as an absolute path.
If you specify neither this option nor the -target option, this extended command restores all the
objects contained in the instance specified by the backup ID.
-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 you omit this option, the value of the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is used.
The values in the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) are used for any parameters
that are not included 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 folder:
Application-Agent-installation-directory\DRM\conf\raid
