Syntax

restoresystem
     /dir backup-data-path
     [/auto]

Arguments

/dir backup-data-path

This option specifies the absolute or relative path to the backup folder that stores the backup data specified in the backupsystem command.

/auto

This option causes the command to automatically start and stop the services and databases of JP1/AO, JP1/OA, and the Hitachi Command Suite products. If this option is omitted, the services and databases of JP1/AO, JP1/OA, and the Hitachi Command Suite products are not automatically started and stopped.

If you want to use this option in a cluster environment, services registered with the cluster software must be offline.

Located in

In Windows:

JP1/AO-installation-folder\bin

In Linux:

/opt/jp1ao/bin

Execute permission

Execute the command as a user with Administrator or root permissions. If a user without Administrator or root permissions executes the command, a message appears asking the user to elevate the permission level.

Remarks

• Executing this command creates a temporary file. For this reason, make sure that the folder in which backup files are stored has a sufficient free space. The required free space is as follows:

  Total size of the files to be backed up + 20 MB

• This command does not restore the files below. Manually set the following files again if necessary:

  • SSL server certificate file for HTTPS connection

  • Private key file for HTTPS connection

  • Private key file for public key authentication

  • Cluster service control command that was created (in a Linux cluster configuration)

  Place the files for HTTPS connection in a location defined in the user_httpsd.conf file, and place the file for public key authentication in a location defined in the user-specified properties file (config_user.properties).

• If you do not specify the auto option, then make sure that JP1/AO services are not running before executing this command.

  If these services are still running, execute the hcmds64srv command with the stop option to stop the services.

• Be careful if the JP1/AO installation path includes half-width space characters. If there is a file or folder whose path is the same as the string before the first space character in that path, the restoresystem command will fail with return code 114. If this happens, move that file or folder to a different path, re-install JP1/AO, and then execute the restoresystem command again.

  For example, assume that JP1/AO is installed in C:\Program Files\HITACHI\JP1AO. In this case, the restoresystem command will fail if there is a file or folder whose path is C:\Program.

• In the restored tasks and debug tasks, the following operations cannot be selected:

  • Retry the Task From the Failed Step

  • Retry the Task From the Step After the Failed Step

• In the restored tasks and debug tasks, the progress and status of the step are not displayed.

Return code

The following table lists the return codes from the command.

Example

The following example shows how to use the command to restore, in Windows, data in the specified backup folder (C:\Users\Backup):

restoresystem /dir C:\Users\Backup /auto
