HP 10400 Application Software Suite for Microsoft SQL Media LTU manual Retain timehHdD

-retain <time>{hHdD}	Optional. Set or extend the retention time for
	the specified virtual copy to the specified time.
	The virtual copy cannot be removed during
	this time period.
	NOTE: Retention time restrictions are:
	• You must have a Virtual Lock license to
	use the -retain option.
	• The minimum retention period is 1 hour;
	the maximum is 43,800 hours/1,825
	days (5 years).
	• The default retention time is 336 hours
	(14 days).
	• This option cannot be used with -rc.
	• The retention time cannot exceed the
	value of the InServ's
	VVRetentionTimeMax.
	• You can set a retention time regardless
	of whether the policy is numeric- or
	expiration-based.
	• The retention time cannot be longer than
	the expiration time (if the policy is
	expiration-based).
	• If you create a remote virtual copy and
	Remote Copy is set up in asynchronous
	periodic mode, the retention time is
	applied to the remote copy on the Remote
	Copy backup server only. If Remote Copy
	is set up in synchronous mode, the
	retention time is applied to both the
	remote copy on the Remote Copy backup
	server and the virtual copy on the Remote
	Copy primary server.
	• The retention time cannot be removed or
	reduced after it is set.
	• To set no retention time for this virtual
	copy, use a value of 0h.
-f	Optional. When used with the -retain option,
	does not request confirmation for the retention
	time modification.

EXAMPLE

The following command sets the maximum number of virtual copies to 5 at all times for the default SQL instance:

RMSql policy –n 5 -s <SQL server>

The following command sets the expiration time of virtual copies to 30 days for the default SQL instance:

RMSql policy -exp 30d -s <SQL server>
