Updated in this release

The following changes have been made to this document:

  • The following Command Line Management Utility commands, previously marked "deprecated" within the command help and in this document, should no longer be considered deprecated. These commands continue to be supported. The commands include /CheckRepository, /CreateRepository, /DeleteRepository, and /UpdateRepository,
  • Similarly, the related PowerShell cmdlets, CreateRepository and DeleteRepository, included notes in print versions indicating that these cmdlets are deprecated. This is not the case; these commands continue to be supported. This version of documentation is updated accordingly.

Deprecated in this release

The following information is deprecated.

  • The PowerShell cmdlet Set-ApplianceLicenseNumber is deprecated. Once Quest appliances have reached end of life, this command will be removed from the Rapid Recovery code base.

No longer included in this release

  • Rapid Recovery no longer supports tiering of recovery points to a Quest DR appliance. As a result:
    • The /CheckTieredRepository, /CreateTieredRepository, /DeleteTieredRepository, and /OpenTieredRepositorycommands have been removed from the Command Line Management Utility (cmdutil) module and are no longer available.
    • The cmdlets Get-TieredRepositories, New-TieredRepository, Remove-TieredRepository, and Start-TieredRepositoryCheck have been removed from the Rapid Recovery PowerShell module and are no longer available.
  • Rapid Recovery now supports Azure Resource Manager deployments only. Management certificates, which were required for Rapid Recovery to support Azure Service Management deployments, are no longer supported by Azure. Accordingly:
    • The /ManagementCertificates command has been removed from the cmdutil module.
    • Correspondingly, cmdlets Add-ManagementCertificates, Get-ManagementCertificates, and Remove-ManagementCertificates have been removed from the Rapid Recovery PowerShell module.
  • The cmdlet Suspend-RepositoryActivity was an internal testing tools that has been removed from this release.
  • The cmdlet :Suspend-VMExport was discontinued has been removed from this release.

Command Line Management Utility

Rapid Recovery consists of several software components. Key components relevant to this topic include the following:

  • The Rapid Recovery Core manages authentication for protected machines, schedules for transferring data for backup and replication, export to virtual machines, reporting, and bare metal restore (BMR) to similar or dissimilar hardware.
  • The Rapid Recovery Agent is responsible for volume snapshots and fast transfer of the data to the repository managed by the Core.
  • The Rapid Recovery Command Line Management utility, cmdutil.exe, provides third-party access to manage system functionality. This tool permits scripting of the Rapid Recovery Core management functions.

Figure 1: Rapid Recovery Command Line Management provides command line functions

Rapid Recovery Command Line Management is a Windows command line utility that lets users interact with the Rapid Recovery Core server. It offers some of the same functions that the Rapid Recovery Core Console graphic user interface provides. For example, Rapid Recovery Command Line Management utility can mount recovery points or force a snapshot.

The Rapid Recovery Command Line Management utility is embedded in every installation of the Rapid Recovery Core. To open the Command Line Management utility for a default installation, open the Command Prompt (right-click and select the Run as Administrator option), and then change the directory to the path C:\Program Files\AppRecovery\Core\CoreService\, which is the location of the cmdutil.exe file. From this directory, you can pass action flags to the Rapid Recovery Command Line Management utility through a selection of command options and qualifiers to perform limited management functions.

How to run a cmdutil command

To run any cmdutil command in the module, at the command prompt, type the command cmdutil followed by a space; then type a slash (/) followed immediately by the command name (do not include a space). Identify each parameter or command option by preceding it with a hyphen or dash, followed by the command option. Include a space before any input to the command option. When using two or more command options, include a space after each option and input pair. Again precede the option name with a hyphen and a space before any input. After typing the command, press [Enter] to run the command.

Each command includes examples to model the syntax. In these examples, the command prompt is designated by the right angle bracket, >. Thus, command structure is as follows:

>cmdutil /[command name] -parameter1 p1_input -parameter2 p2_input

Examples:

To open an existing DVM repository on the local machine, type the following command and press [Enter]:

>cmdutil /opendvmrepository -localpath E:\Repository

To create a new account in the Credentials Vault, type the following command and press [Enter]:

>cmdutil /credentialsvaultaccount -add -accountusername admin -accountpassword password -description "Admin credentials"

Commands

This section describes the commands and options available for the Rapid Recovery Command Line Management utility.

AddEncryptionKeytoProtectedMachine

The addencryptionkeytoprotectedmachine command lets you apply an existing encryption key to a machine that the Core is protecting.

Usage

The usage for the command is as follows: 

/addencryptionkeytoprotectedmachine -core [host name] -user [user name] -password [password name] -name [encryption key name] -comment [comment or description of key]
Command Options

The following table describes the options available for the addencryptionkeytoprotectedmachine command:

Optional. The name of the encryption key. Specify this option if you know the name of the encryption key that you want to set for the protected machine.
