IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Windows, Version 4.1

Mount backup optional parameters

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.
