The smsap backup mount command

PDFs

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

Syntax

smsap backup mount
-profile profile_name
[-label label [-data | -archivelogs] | [-id id]
[-host  host]

[-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 smsap 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.

  • -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 smsap 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:
