ca_merge - Miscellaneous Options

The ca_merge command contains miscellaneous options that are used to display all associated options and define basic policies and parameters for Arcserve Backup to use during a merge process.

The ca_merge 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 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 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 Arcserve Backup or else the command will fail.

-f <filename>

Used to specify a file name that contains the switches and parameters for the command.

This switch overcomes the shell limitation of 1024 character input from command line. You can also use this switch to hide passwords by saving them in a file.
