HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Microsoft Exchange Licenses - Manual (Page 55)

NOTE: If you specify an expiration time for a remote virtual copy:
•
If Remote Copy is set up in asynchronous periodic mode, Recovery Manager for Exchange
sets the expiration time for the remote virtual copy on the backup server only, not for the virtual
copy created on the primary server.
•
If Remote Copy is set up in synchronous mode, Recovery Manager for Exchange sets the
expiration time for both the virtual copy on the primary server and the remote virtual copy on
the backup server.
For more information, see the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software User’s Guide.
If not specified, Recovery Manager creates the virtual copy using the expiration time specified in
the current policy.
•
-retain n{h|H|d|D} - Optional. Set the retention time for the specified virtual copy to
the specified time. The virtual copy cannot be removed during this time period.
NOTE: Retention time restrictions are:
•
You must have an HP 3PAR Virtual Lock license to use the -retain option.
•
The minimum retention period is 1 hour; the maximum is 43,800 hours/1,825 days (5 years).
•
The default retention time is 336 hours (14 days).
•
The retention time cannot exceed the value of the system's virtual volume maximum retention
time.
•
You can set a retention time regardless of whether the policy is numeric- or expiration-based.
•
The retention time cannot be longer than the expiration time (if the policy is expiration-based).
•
If you create a remote virtual copy and Remote Copy is set up in asynchronous periodic mode,
the retention time is applied to the remote copy on the backup server only. If Remote Copy is
set up in synchronous mode, the retention time is applied to both the remote copy on the
backup server and the virtual copy on the primary server.
•
The retention time cannot be removed or reduced after it is set.
•
To override the mailbox database policy and set no retention time for this virtual copy, use a
value of 0h.
•
-f - Optional. When used with the -retain option, does not request confirmation for the
retention time modification.
•
-domain <DomainName> - Optional. Specifies the domain to which the Exchange server
or mailbox belongs.
If this option is not specified, Recovery Manager for Exchange uses the local domain.
NOTE: Use quotes ("") for names that include spaces.
Examples
The following command will create a snapshot for the mailbox database mb2 on the Exchange
server bottlenosed, and will be verified on the server raptors.
RMExch create -s bottlenosed -vs raptors -mdb “mb2”
RMExch create 55
