NAME
era_restore - restore era metadata file to device or file.
SYNOPSIS
era_restore [options] -i {xml file} -o {device|file}
DESCRIPTION
era_restore restores era metadata created by the respective device-mapper
target dumped into an XML formatted (see era_dump(8)) file, which
optionally can be preprocessed before the restore to another device or
file. If restored to a metadata device, the metadata can be processed by
the device-mapper target.
This tool cannot be run on live metadata.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
-
Print help and exit.
- -V, --version
-
Print version information and exit.
- -q, --quiet
-
Don't print any output. Check the exit code to test for success.
- -i, --input {xml file}
-
Specify input file containing xml metadata.
- -o, --output {device|file}
-
Output device or file for restored binary metadata.
If a file is used, then it must be preallocated, and large enough to hold
the metadata.
EXAMPLE
Restores the XML formatted era metadata on file metadata to logical volume
/dev/vg/metadata for further processing by the respective device-mapper
target:
$ era_restore -i metadata -o /dev/vg/metadata
