HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for VMware - Manual (Page 10)

•
-inservuid <InServUserID>
The HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system user login name.
•
-inservpwd <InServPassword>
The HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system login password. This option is not required if the
Storage System name, user ID, and password have been registered.
NOTE: This option will not be supported in a future release.
•
-vmlist
Optional to provide Virtual Machine names for application consistency snapshot. If not set,
all Virtual Machines under the Datastore is applied. This option can only be applied if
-consistency yes
is specified.
•
-expiry <VirtualCopyExpiryInHour>
(Optional) Sets the amount of time (in hours) before a Virtual Copy is deleted from the system
regardless of the maximum count. If an expiration time period is not specified with this option,
the Virtual Copy is deleted after it reaches the oldest position in the queue beyond the maximum
count specified through the policy settings. See
“Working with Virtual Copies” (page 68) for
more details. If this option is not set, the default policy is applied.
•
-retention <VirtualCopyRetentionInHour>
(Optional) Sets the amount of time (in hours) that Virtual Copies are retained, during which
period the Virtual Copy cannot be altered. The Virtual Copy is not deleted after the retention
period but is then available for modification and deletion. See
“Working with Virtual Copies”
(page 68) for more details. If this option is not set, the default policy is applied.
Examples:
The following command will create an HP 3PAR Virtual Copy for the Datastore "My Datastore":
C:\> RMVMware create -ds "My Datastore" -vcserver vc365 -vcuid admin
-vcpwd pass2word -inserv s124 -inservuid rmvuser -inservpwd pass3word
As an alternative to entering in all the command line options when creating a Virtual Copy of a
Virtual Machine or a Datastore, you can reference the server password or credentials from a given
file using the following command:
C:\ RMVMware create -ds "My Datastore" -vcserver vc365 -vcuid admin
-vcfile C:\vicredentials.xml -inserv s124 -inservuid rmvuser
NOTE: If duplicate Datastore or Virtual Machine names exist under the same vCenter server, use
the following uuid-<myUUIDofDatastore> or uuid-<myUUIDofVirtualMachine>
commands in place of Datastore or virtual name such as
uuid-4220f0f6-3aec-258b-dc41-949f596c6ba8
.
