Collection{exchange_collection}
● You can obtain the collection name from the ASM/ME GUI Collections node by browsing an individual collection’s
properties.
Alternatively, use the following command to display of all Collection names:
> ASMCLI ‑list ‑collections ‑showobjectid
● When you specify an ‑objectID= parameter, the command parser ignores any subsequent ‑volume=, ‑collection=,
and ‑component= parameters.
offpeak
● Used with: smart, verify subcommands
● Specify the ‑offpeak parameter to schedule Checksum Verification during the offpeak Global Verification times
(predicted periods of low computer use). When you specify ‑offpeak, you must also specify the ‑checksum parameter.
● You can specify that this parameter can be used with the ‑smart command if you specify either ‑checksum or ‑verify, or
both.
● You can also specify the ‑offpeak parameter with the ‑verify command.
● If you do not specify either the ‑offpeak parameter or the ‑remote parameter, Checksum Verification begins
immediately after Smart Copy completion.
promoteandverify
● Used with: smart subcommand
● Specify ‑promoteandverify to perform Checksum Verification directly on a promoted Exchange replica which will
pause replication until the operation has completed.
readwrite
● Used with: mount subcommand
● Specify the ‑readwrite parameter to enable both reads from and writes to the mounted volume. If not specified, the
volume is mounted read‑only.
recovery
● Used with: smart subcommand
● Specify ‑recovery to perform Checksum Verification or Soft Recovery (or both) on the Smart Copy. You can
use this command only when making copies of Exchange objects.
● You can specify the ‑recovery subcommand together with the ‑checksum subcommand option to perform both
operations simultaneously. If you do not specify either the –smart or s subcommands, the ‑recovery parameter is
ignored.
retry= n
● Used with: mount, unmount, restore subcommands
● Specify the ‑retry= parameter with an integer value indicating the number of times to retry the operation if unsuccessful.
remote
● Used with: smart, verify subcommands
● Specify the ‑remote parameter to schedule Checksum Verification on a remote computer instead of the local
computer. If configured on the remote computer, Checksum Verification (and Soft Recovery, if specified), runs during the
offpeak Global Verification times. Configure the remote computer to find and verify the newly‑created backup document.
● You can specify that this parameter can be used with the ‑smart command if you specify either ‑checksum or ‑verify or
both.
● You can also specify the ‑remote parameter with the ‑verify command.
