Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| file | The file path and the file name to which you want to save the database. Enclose the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example: file="C:\Program Files\CLI\logs\dbmdata.zip" This parameter must appear last, after any of the optional parameters. This command creates a .zip file and you do not need to specify a file extension. |
| sourceLocation | This parameter specifies the location from which to obtain backup database information.
|
| controller | This parameter specifies the controller from which data will be exclusively retrieved, if sourceLocation is set to onboard . If the controller parameter is not specified, data might be retrieved from either controller. Valid controller identifiers are a or b , where a is the controller in slot A , and b is the controller in slot B . |
| contentType | This parameter specifies the content type of the data that will be retrieved. This parameter is set to all by default, so that all of the data including disk pool configuration data is retrieved. |
Notes
The data that you save to the host using this command can, if needed, be restored to the controller. A validator, however, is required to restore data from the file on the host.
