Creation of a transaction log list file

You can use a redirect file created by specifying the -

v

option for the

drmsqllogbackup

command

as a transaction log list file. By using a redirect file, you can create a transaction log list file more
efficiently than by manually creating one.

When you specify the -

v

option for the

drmsqllogbackup

command, you can display the transaction

log backup information even when resynchronization of the primary and secondary volumes is being
performed or when no backup catalog exists. Therefore, there is no need to manually create a
transaction log list file while the

drmresync

command is being executed or when the backup catalog

has been deleted by executing the

drmresync

command.

To create a transaction log list file (redirect file), use the following command:

PROMPT> drmsqllogbackup instance-name -target database-name -v > transaction-log-list-file-name

(absolute path)

For example, if you want to create a transaction log list file in

C:\temp\SQLTXLOG.txt

when the

SQL Server instance name is

SQL1

and the database name is

DB1

, execute the command as follows:

PROMPT> drmsqllogbackup SQL1 -target DB1 -v > C:\temp\SQLTXLOG.txt

Updating a dictionary map file

After environment setup is complete, the next step is to update the dictionary map files. By updating
the dictionary map files, you can confirm that the environment has been set up appropriately.

To update the dictionary map files:

When the backup is of a file system:
Execute the

drmfsdisplay

command with the

-refresh

option specified.

When the backup is of an SQL Server database:
Execute the

drmsqldisplay

command with the

-refresh

option specified.

When the backup is of an Exchange database:
Execute the

drmexgdisplay

command with the

-refresh

option specified.

In the following example, the command updates the dictionary map files:

PROMPT> drmfsdisplay -refresh

When the command terminates, the following message appears:

KAVX0023-I Dictionary map file was updated.

When the above message appears, confirm that the dictionary map files has been updated by, for
example, checking the date of the file.
