Parameters
Parameter Description
file
The file path and the file name of the DBM database you
want to upload. Enclose the file name in double quotation
marks (" "). For example: file=
"C:\Subsystem
Backups\DBMbackup_03302010.dbm"
This command does not automatically append a file
extension to the saved file. You must specify a file extension
when entering the file name.
validator
The alphanumeric security code required to restore a storage
subsystem to an existing configuration. Use the
save
storageSubsystemdbmValidator
command to generate the
required validation information XML file. After the
validation information XML file is available, contact your
IBM Technical Support representative to obtain the Validator.
sourceLocation
This parameter specifies the location from which to retrieve
backup database information. The parameter must be
included for consistency, but the only allowed value is
onboard
controller
This parameter specifies the controller from which data will
be exclusively retrieved, if sourceLocation is set to cache.
Enclose the controller identifier in squarebrackets ([ ]). If the
controller parameter is not specified, data might be retrieved
from either controller.
Notes
Depending on the size of the database image, restoring the database might take up as much as 30
minutes. The host software will not show the controllers in an Optimal state until after all actions for
loading the database image are completed on the controllers.
Locate Performance Read Cache
The start locate command identifies the Solid State Disks (SSDs) that are being used in the Performance
Read Cache by turning on the indicator lights for the SSDs. The stop locate command turns off the
indicator lights on the SSDs.
Syntax Applicable to Starting a Locate Operation
start performanceReadCache [performanceReadCacheName] locate
Syntax Applicable to Stopping a Locate Operation
