Contributors

You can run the backup mount command to mount a backup in order to perform a recover operation by using an external tool.

Syntax

        smo backup mount
-profile profile_name
[-label label \[-data \| -archivelogs\] \| \[-id id\]
[-host  host]
\[-from-secondary \{-copy-id id\}\]
\[-dump\]
[-quiet | -verbose]

Parameters

  • -profile profile_name

    Specifies the profile associated with the backup that you want to mount. The profile contains the identifier of the database and other database information.

  • -id guid

    Mounts the backup with the specified GUID. The GUID is generated by SnapManager when you create a backup. You can use the smo backup list command to display the GUID for each backup.

  • -label label

    Mounts the backup with the specified label.

  • -data

    Specifies the data files.

  • -archivelogs

    Specifies the archive log files.

  • -from-secondary -copy-id id

    Mounts the backup from secondary storage. If this option is not specified, SnapManager mounts the backup from primary storage. You can use this option if the backup is freed.

    You must specify the -copy-id option whenever you specify the -from-secondary option. If there is more than one backup on the secondary storage system, the -copy-id option is used to specify which backup copy on the secondary storage should be used to mount the backup.

    Note If you are using Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, you must specify a valid value for the -copy-id option. However, if you are using clustered Data ONTAP, the -copy-id option is not required.

  • -host host

    Specifies the host on which you want to mount the backup.

  • -dump

    Collects the dump files after the successful or failed mount operation.

  • -quiet

    Displays only error messages in the console. The default setting is to display error and warning messages.

  • -verbose

    Displays error, warning, and informational messages in the console.

Note You must use this command only if you are using an external tool such as Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN). SnapManager automatically handles the mounting of backups if you use the smo backup restore command to restore the backup. This command displays a list, which shows the paths where the Snapshot copies have been mounted. This list is displayed only when the -verbose option is specified.

Example

The following example mounts the backup:
