RMSql unmount

Before you begin, verify the following tasks are complete before performing the unmount operation:

The SQL server must be in healthy state for attach operation

The disk residing on the database must be online and visible

The following results of the unmount operation may occur:

Unmounting of a virtual copy does not occur if unmounting operation is unsuccessful

Detach operation proceeds automatically following the unmount operation

NOTE:

There is not a separate command for attaching and detaching operations. Both commands

automatically follow after a mounting and unmounting operation.

SYNTAX

RMSql unmount -s <SQL server> -t <timestamp>

DESCRIPTION

The RMSql unmount command unmounts a currently mounted virtual copy that was mounted by
the RMSql mount command. Recovery Manager for SQL can only unmount a virtual copy if its
mounted status is not “Available.”

PARAMETERS

The following options are supported:

-s <SQL server>

The SQL server to which the database belongs.

-t <timestamp>

The timestamp of the virtual copy to unmount.

-f <forceDetach>

Forces detach when there are active connections on database.

NOTE:

During an unmount operation, Recovery Manager for SQL detaches any attaching

databases, removes the mount point from the mounted volumes, and then removes the mount point
folder.

Running Recovery Manager as a Scheduled Job

In addition to creating virtual copies using the Command Line Interface, you can also use Windows
Scheduled Tasks (or Windows Task Scheduler, depending on your Windows OS) to schedule
automatic creation of virtual copies for a specific database.

NOTE:

You can also use the Recovery Manager for SQL GUI to schedule automatic virtual copies.

For more information, see Scheduling Automatic Virtual Copies.
