Execution permissions for extended commands
To execute the extended commands, you need system administrator permissions. Make sure that you
have these permissions.
Automatic execution of extended commands
A backup or restoration process that uses extended commands may be performed across more than
one server. It is difficult to execute extended commands at each of physically remote servers. Therefore,
you need to perform remote execution of the extended commands. If you want to repeat execution
of extended commands, you need to set up automatic execution.
In such a case, install the operation management software that meets the following requirements:
• The software can be started by specifying the file name in VBScript and shell script programs
(batch files).
• Operations such as repeat executions of programs and evaluating conditions can automatically
be executed, according to the predefined execution order and schedule.
HP recommends that you use operation management software to make a process of executing extended
commands more simple.
Prerequisite VBScript version
The VBScript version must be 5.6 (Windows Server 2003), 5.7 (Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008),
or 5.8 (Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012) when extended commands
are used.
NOTE:
The returned value is other than 0 when an extended command fails. If you upgrade the VBScript
version from version 5.1, a different value is returned when an extended command fails.
Deletion of unnecessary files
Before you can change the extended command settings you specified, the files that have been used
and are no longer necessary must be deleted. You need to delete unnecessary files when:
• Renaming or discarding a once created operation ID
• Changing the FTP user
How to delete files is explained next.
When renaming or discarding a created operation ID:
• To rename or stop using a created operation ID, you must delete the temporary directory for ex-
tended commands that has been generated automatically.
To delete the temporary directory for extended commands:
(Perform the following steps on the file server or database server:)
1. If 1 is assigned to SET_DRM_HOSTNAME in the operation definition file, assign the environment
variable DRM_HOSTNAME the server name assigned to DB_SERVER_NAME in the operation
definition file. For example, if the server name assigned to DB_SERVER_NAME is VHOST ,
specify as follows:
