ca_dbmgr - Miscellaneous Options

The ca_dbmgr command contains miscellaneous options that are used to display all associated options and define basic policies and parameters for CA ARCserve Backup to use during database management process.

The ca_dbmgr command includes the following miscellaneous options:

-cahost <hostname>

Identifies the name of the system hosting the operation.

If you want to execute the operation on a remote system, this switch must be included in the command.

If you want to execute this operation on your local system, this switch is not required and should not be included in the command.

Note: If you include -cahost in the command, you must also specify the hostname of the system (local or remote) hosting the operation.

Note: If you installed CA ARCserve Backup using the "ARCserve Manager (Console)" mode, you must include the -cahost switch to execute this command from your local machine. Because this Console installation mode does not actually install all CA ARCserve Backup capabilities on your local machine, it is mandatory that -cahost be included when submitting this command remotely to the primary or member server containing CA ARCserve Backup or else the command will fail.
