Backing up resources using PowerShell cmdlets

Backing up a resource includes establishing a connection with the SnapCenter Server, adding resources, adding a policy, creating a backup resource group, and backing up.

1. Initiate a connection session with the SnapCenter Server for a specified user by using the Open-SmConnection cmdlet.

   Open-smconnection  -SMSbaseurl  https:\\snapctr.demo.netapp.com:8146\

   The username and password prompt is displayed.
2. Add resources by using the Add-SmResources cmdlet.
   This example adds resources:

   Add-SmResource -HostName '10.232.206.248' -PluginCode 'DB2' -ResourceName NONREC1 -ResourceType Database -StorageFootPrint ( @
   {"VolumeName"="DB2_NONREC1DB";"LunName"="DB2_NONREC1DB";"Vserver"="vserver_scauto_secondary"}) -Instance db2inst1

3. Create a backup policy by using the Add-SmPolicy cmdlet.

   This example creates a new backup policy:

   Add-SMPolicy -PolicyName 'db2VolumePolicy' -PolicyType 'Backup' -PluginPolicyType DB2  -description 'VolumePolicy'
   

4. Add a new resource group to SnapCenter by using the Add-SmResourceGroup cmdlet.

   This example creates a new resource group with the specified policy and resources:

   Add-SmResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName 'Verify_ManualBackup_DatabaseLevel_MultipleVolume_unix' -Resources @(@
   {"Host"="10.232.206.248";"Uid"="db2inst2\NONREC"},@{"Host"="10.232.206.248";"Uid"="db2inst1\NONREC"}) -Policies db2ManualPolicy
   

5. Initiate a new Snapshot copy job by using the New-SmBackup cmdlet.

   New-SMBackup -DatasetName Verify_ManualBackup_DatabaseLevel_MultipleVolume_unix -Policy db2ManualPolicy
   

6. View the status of the backup job by using the Get-SmBackupReport cmdlet.

   This example displays a job summary report of all jobs that were run on the specified date:

   PS C:\> Get-SmBackupReport -JobId 351
   Output:
   BackedUpObjects           : {DB1}
   FailedObjects             : {}
