-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 |

Example:
Force log truncation for a protected server:
>cmdutil /forcelogtruncation -core 10.10.10.10 -user administrator -password 23WE@#$sdd -protectedserver 10.10.20.20
ForceMount
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.
Usage
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]
Command Options

-protectedserver |
Protected machine against which to perform a mountability 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. |
Example:
Perform mountability checks for recovery points with numbers 5 and 7:
>cmdutil /forcemount -core 10.10.10.10 -user administrator -password 23WE@#$sdd -protectedserver 10.10.20.20 -rpn 5 7
