The forceattach
command lets you force a SQL database files attachability check. When you force an attachability check, the check begins immediately.
The usage for the command is as follows:
/forceattach -core [host name] -user [user name] -password [password] -protectedserver [name | IP address] -rpn [number | numbers] | -time [time string]
The following table describes the options available for the forceattach
command:
Option | Description |
---|---|
-? |
Display this help message. |
-core |
Optional. Remote Core host machine IP address (with an optional port number). By default, the connection is made to the Core installed on the local machine. |
-user |
Optional. User name for the remote Core host machine. If you specify a user name, you must also provide a password. If none is provided, then the credentials for the logged-on user are used. |
-password |
Optional. Password to the remote Core host machine. If you specify a password, you also have to provide a user name. If none is provided, then the credentials for the logged-on user are used. |
-protectedserver |
Protected machine against which to perform the attachability check. |
-rpn |
The sequential number of a recovery point against which to perform checks (run command /list rps to obtain the numbers). To perform checks against multiple recovery points with a single command, you can specify several numbers separated by spaces. |
-time |
Select a recovery point by its creation time. You must specify the exact time in the format “mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm tt” (for example, “2/24/2012 09:00 AM”). Keep in mind to specify the date and time values of the time zone set on your PC. |
Perform attachability checks for recovery points with numbers 5 and 7:
>cmdutil /forceattach -core 10.10.10.10 -user administrator -password 23WE@#$sdd -protectedserver 10.10.5.22 -rpn 5 7
The forcechecksum
command lets you force an integrity check of any Exchange Message Databases (MDBs) present on the specified recovery point or points. When you force a checksum check, the command begins immediately.

Forcing log truncation lets you perform this job one time, on-demand. It immediately truncates the logs for the specified SQL Server agent machine.
The usage for the command is as follows:

Use the forcemount
command to conduct an one-time recovery point mountability check. This determines whether or not the specified recovery point or recovery points can be mounted and used to restore backed up data. You must list either one or more specific recovery points on which to conduct the check, or a time range during which the recovery points were created.
The usage for the command is as follows:
/forcemount -core [host name] -user [user name] -password [password] -protectedserver [name | IP address] -rpn [number | numbers] | -time [time string]
