Configuring Plug-in for SAP HANA

--help

Shows the list of tool parameters.

--show-config

Shows configuration parameters.

--wizard

Starts the wizard to configure the plug-in settings. The wizard edits the Veeam Plug-in configuration file (veeam_config.xml) or creates a new one if the configuration file was removed from the /opt/veeam/VeeamPluginforSAPHANA directory on the machine where Veeam Plug-in is installed.

--set-credentials <"serv\username"> <password>

Specifies credentials to log in to the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

--set-host <hostname>

Specifies the IP address or hostname of the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

--set-port <port_number>

Specifies a port number that will be used to communicate with the Veeam Backup & Replication server.

--set-repository

Launches a wizard to select a backup repository. A backup repository is selected from repositories which are available in the connected Veeam Backup & Replication instance.

--set-backup-for-restore

[For System Copy] Specifies the backup that will be used for restore operations. You can use this parameter if you want to restore a database to another server or to restore a database from a backup copy.

When you run the SapBackintConfigTool command with this parameter, Veeam Plug-in will prompt you to select an authentication method to access a backup created for the original server and then select the backup from which you want to restore a database.

For more information, see Restore to Another Server (System Copy).

--map-backup

Maps the imported backups.

--set-force-delete

Deletes backup files after specified days.

--promote-backup-copy-to-primary

Maps the imported backup copy to a regular Veeam Plug-in backup chain.

--set-scale-out-cluster-name

This command is supported for Veeam Plug-in operating in the managed mode. For more information, see Standalone and Managed Operations Modes.

Sets the custom name for the cluster. During the Veeam Plug-in deployment on the scale-out system nodes, Veeam Backup & Replication sets the scale-out system name using domain name and SAP system name. If you want to set a custom name, use the --set-scale-out-cluster-name command on the computer side. This custom name will be saved in the veeam_config.xml file.

--seth-auth-data-for-restore

Specifies an authentication method for database restore. Use this parameter if you want to restore a database to another server using Veeam Explorer for SAP HANA.

After you run the SapBackintConfigTool command with this parameter, use the SapBackintConfigTool command with the --set-backup-for-restore parameter to select a backup from which you want to restore a database. For more information, see Restore with Veeam Explorer for SAP HANA.

--show-preferred-networks

Shows the list of preferred networks set for Veeam Plug-in data traffic to the remote backup repository.

The list shows set preferred networks in descending order of priority. If the list is empty, no networks are set as preferred and Veeam Plug-in routes data traffic to the preferred networks set in Veeam Backup & Replication. For more information, see Specifying Preferred Networks for Veeam Plug-ins.

--add-preferred-network <network_IP_address> <position_in_list>

Adds a network to the list of preferred networks for Veeam Plug-in data traffic to the remote backup repository.

To select to which network Veeam Plug-in connects first, you can set the order number of the network in the list. For more information, see Specifying Preferred Networks for Veeam Plug-ins.

--remove-preferred-network <network_IP_address>

Removes a specified network from the list of preferred networks for Veeam Plug-in data traffic to the remote backup repository.
