CMS Command

Authorization: SYSADMIN

Use the CMS command to run a CMS or CP command or an EXEC on the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine.

CA VM:Backup returns to its environment immediately after the CMS or CP command or the EXEC completes.

Note: Normally, you never need to enter the CMS command. However, you can use it to spool the console when trying to resolve a problem.

Important! CA VM:Backup stops processing while the CMS command runs. If you need to run this command, first consider how long processing will take.

This command has the following format:

CMS {command | CP command | EXEC name}
