SYNOPSIS



 sfae_state_op -s <service>
 -a <application>
 [ -r <repositoryHost> ]
 [ -c <configFile> ]
 [ --<service_key>=<value>]
 [ --<application_key>=<value>]
 [ -p |
 --new_state=<newstate name>
 [ --previous_state=<previous state name>]]



DESCRIPTION

This utility is intended to be used by support engineers to manually rectify the state information in the SFAE repository sfae_state_op is a utility to update the state information in the repository for a service application pair. Only valid state names are accepted.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:
-s Service_Type Specifies service type for the operation. Supported service types are



 Checkpoint - Filesystem checkpoints.
 FileSnap - File level snapshots.
 Flashsnap - Volume level Snapshots.
 SOS - Space optimized volume level snapshots.



This is a mandatory option.

-a Application-Name Specifies the application for which point in time services should be used. Currently supported application is oracle database 10gr2, 11gr1 and 11gr2.

This is a mandatory option.

-r repositoryHost Specifies the host where the repository information is to be updated.
-c Configuration-File All the command line options, specific to applications, apart from service_type, application_name and operations can be provided in Configuration file. Information in the configuration file should be in format <PARAMETER_NAME>=<VALUE>. Information about supported parameters are described in man pages for appropriate service types. This parameter is optional, if the application and service key is provided in command line.
--<Service_name> Service_Name parameter uniquely identifies the point in time copy for the application. For e.g. If a user wants to create a 3rd mirror breakoff type snapshot(flashsnap), service key parameter would be flashsnap_name=dailysnap or flashsnap_name=hourlysnap. This would create a unique identifier for a that copy which should be used for all operations on it.

This is a mandatory parameter which can be entered in configuration file as <Service_Name>=<Value> or on the command line as --<service_name> value. For more details please refer examples in man pages for services.

--<application_key> Application_Key parameter uniquely identify application_instance. For e.g if there are two database running on the system, application_key for the database would be oracle_sid. This parameter should be used for all the point in time operation for specific application instance.

This is a mandatory parameter which can be entered in the configuration file or on command line.For more details please refer examples in man pages for services.

-p This would update the current state to the previous state.

This is not a mandatory parameter

--new-state new state name
--previous-state previous state name The --new-state parameter sets the current state to the specified state. The --previous-state parameter sets the previous state to the specified state. If the --previous-state parameter is not specified then the previous state and the current state in the repository gets updated to the state specified by --new-state

NOTE

The -p option and the --new-state, --previous-state par cannot be used together.
