Optional parameters follow the mount backup command
and positional parameters.
- /CONFIGfile=configfilename
- Use
the /CONFIGfile parameter to specify the name
(configfilename) of the Tivoli® Storage FlashCopy® Manager for Exchange configuration
file that contains the values to use for a mount backup operation.
The configfilename variable
can include a fully qualified path. If the configfilename variable
does not include a path, the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Exchange installation
directory is used. If the /CONFIGfile parameter
is not specified, or if the configfilename variable
is not specified, the default value is tdpexc.cfg.
If
the
configfilename variable includes spaces, enclose
the entire
/CONFIGfile parameter entry in double
quotation marks. For example:
/CONFIGfile="c:\Program Files\tdpexc.cfg"
- /FROMEXCSERVer=server-name
- Use
the /fromexcserver parameter to specify the name
of the Exchange Server where the original backup was processed.
The
default is the local Exchange Server.
If a DAG node is specified
by using the dagnode parameter, Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Exchange uses
this node name instead of the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Exchange node
to back up databases in an Exchange Server Database Availability Group.
Therefore, the delete command automatically deletes
the backups that were created by the other DAG members, without having
to specify the /fromexcserver parameter.
- /LOGFile=logfilename
- Use
the /LOGFile parameter to specify the name of
the activity log file that is generated by Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Exchange.
The logfilename variable identifies the name of
the activity log file.
If the specified log file does not exist,
a new log file is created. If the specified log file exists, new log
entries are appended to the file. The logfilename variable
can include a fully qualified path. However, if no path is specified,
the log file is written to the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Exchange installation
directory.
If the
logfilename variable includes
spaces, enclose the entire
/LOGFile parameter
entry in double quotation marks. For example:
/LOGFile="c:\Program Files\tdpexc.log"
If
the /LOGFile parameter is not specified, log
records are written to the default log file, tdpexc.log.
The /LOGFile parameter
cannot be turned off, logging always occurs.
- /LOGPrune=numdays||No
- Use
the /LOGPrune parameter to disable log pruning
or to explicitly request that the log is to be pruned for one command
run. By default, log pruning is enabled and done one time per day.
The numdays variable represents the number of days
to save log entries. By default, 60 days of log
entries are saved in the pruning process. You can use the graphical
user interface or the update config command to
change the defaults so that log pruning is disabled, or so that more
or less days of log entries are saved. If you use the command line,
you can use the /LOGPrune parameter to override
these defaults. When the value of the /LOGPrune variable numdays is
a number in the range 0 - 9999,
the log is pruned even if log pruning is already done for the day.
Changes
to the value of the
timeformat or
dateformat parameter
can result in pruning the log file unintentionally. If the value of
the
timeformat or
dateformat parameter
is changed, before you issue a
Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Exchange command
that might prune the log file, do one of the following actions to
prevent the log file from being pruned:
- Make a copy of the existing log file.
- Specify a new log file with the /LOGFile parameter
or logfile setting.
- /REMOTECOMPUTER=computername
- Enter the computer name or IP address of the remote system where
the backup was created.
- /REMOTECOMPUTERUser=user
- Enter the user name that is used to log on to the server specified
with the REMOTECOMPUTER parameter. If a domain
is required to log on with the domain account, enter Domain\User.
To log on to the local account, the domain is not required. There
is no default value.
- /REMOTECOMPUTERPassword=passwd
- Enter the password for the user name that is specified with the /REMOTECOMPUTERUser parameter.
There is no default value.
- /TSMNODe=tsmnodename
- Use
the tsmnodename variable to refer to the Tivoli Storage
Manager node
name that Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager uses
to log on to the Tivoli Storage
Manager server.
You can store the node name in the Tivoli Storage Manager options
file (dsm.opt). This parameter overrides the
value in the Tivoli Storage Manager options
file if PASSWORDACCESS is set to PROMPT.
This parameter is not valid when PASSWORDACCESS is
set to GENERATE in the options file.
- /TSMOPTFile=tsmoptfilename
- Use
the tsmoptfilename variable to identify the Tivoli Storage Manager options
file.
The file name can include a fully qualified path name. If
no path is specified, the directory where Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager is
installed is searched.
If the
tsmoptfilename variable
includes spaces, enclose the entire
/TSMOPTFile parameter
entry in double quotation marks. For example:
/TSMOPTFile="c:\Program Files\dsm.opt"
The
default is dsm.opt.
- /TSMPassword=tsmpassword
- Use
the tsmpassword variable to refer to the Tivoli Storage Manager password
that Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager uses
to log on to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
If you specified PASSWORDACCESS GENERATE in the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager options
file (dsm.opt), supplying the password is not
necessary here because the one that is stored in the registry is used.
However, to store the password in the registry, you must specify the Tivoli Storage Manager password
the first time Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager connects
to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
If
you do specify a password with this parameter when PASSWORDACCESS
GENERATE is in effect, the command-line value is ignored
unless the password for this node is not yet stored in the registry.
In that case, the specified password is stored in the registry and
used when you run this command.
If PASSWORDACCESS PROMPT is
in effect, and you do not specify a password value on the command
line, then you are prompted for a password.
The Tivoli Storage Manager password
that Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager uses
to log on to the Tivoli Storage Manager server can
be up to 63 characters in length.
