RMExch create
SYNTAX
RMExch create -s <ExchangeServer> -g <StorageGroup> [-nc [-truncate]]
[-rc <TargetServer> [-defer] [-active] [-passive] [-both] [-lcr]
[-noemail] [-exp <time>{h|H|d|D}] [-retain <time>{h|H|d|D}] [-f]
[-domain <DomainName>]
DESCRIPTION
The RMExch create command creates a virtual copy of a storage group on the primary host
where Exchange is running.
By default, Recovery Manager for Exchange exposes the virtual copy to the backup host during
virtual copy creation for data-integrity checking. Also by default, the Exchange transaction log is
truncated after the virtual copy validates successfully.
This command only supports online backup of an entire storage group. Therefore, you must make
sure the storage group is online before creating a virtual copy.
PARAMETERS
The following options are supported:
•
-s <ExchangeServer>
- Exchange server for which storage group belongs. This parameter
is case sensitive.
•
-g <StorageGroup>
- The storage group to shadow copy. This parameter is case sensitive.
•
-nc
- Optional - Skip the integrity check. Not recommended.
•
-truncate
- Optional - Force truncation of log upon successful VC creation when -nc is used.
•
-rc <TargetServer>
- Optional - Indicates the virtual copy creation is for Remote Copy.
Specify target server to create virtual copy once remote copy completes.
•
-defer
- Optional - Defer the log truncation decision after the Remote Copy completes. This
option is to defer log truncation until backup completion, keeping the Exchange writer in
"waiting for completion" state that period. This option cannot be used with the -nc or -truncate
options.
•
-lcr
- Optional - Take the snapshot from the local continuous replication copy.
•
-active
- Optional - Take the snapshot from the active CCR node (applies for CCR
configurations only). The active node is the default if -active is not specified
•
-passive
- Optional - Take the snapshot on the passive CCR node (applies for CCR
configurations only). The active node is the default if -passive or -active are not specified.
•
-both
- Optional - Take the snapshot on both active and passive nodes.
•
-noemail
- Optional - Do not send an email notification even if configured for this operation.
•
-exp <time>{h|H|d|D}
- Optional - If the policy is expiration-based, set the expiration
time for this virtual copy to the specified time. Valid values are:
◦
To set the expiration time in hours: 1-43800h (or H)
◦
To set the expiration time in days: 1-1825d (or D)
◦
To remove the expiration period: 0h
