gtacl -c 'fup dup subvolume.filename, newsubvolume.filename'

To get information about a Guardian subvolume, at the OSS prompt enter:

gtacl -p 'fup info \systemname.$volumename.subvolume.*'

The gtacl command, its syntax, and its options are fully documented in the gtacl(1) reference
page either online or in the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual.

Running OSS Processes From the Guardian Environment

You can run many OSS commands from the Guardian environment against OSS objects using the
osh

command.

For example, to copy an OSS file from one OSS directory to another, at the TACL prompt enter:

osh cp directory/filename newdirectory/filename

The following command starts a child process running in the shell:

osh -ls

The following command displays the reference page for the grep command:

osh -c "man grep"

For a list of the flags that you can use with the osh command, see the osh(1) reference page
either online or in the Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual.

Running OSS Processes With Guardian Attributes

The run command lets you assign Guardian attributes to OSS programs.

For example, you can execute OSS programs under control of an HP debugger. You can assign
Guardian execution priorities to OSS programs and specify a Guardian name to the process.

The following command runs the program program on processor 3 and with the HP Inspect
program:

$ run -cpu=3 -debug -inspect=on program

The following command runs the program program with a Guardian priority of 150:

$ run -gpri=150 program
