era_restore(8)              System Manager's Manual             era_restore(8)

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-map-
       per 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 suc-
              cess.
       -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

DIAGNOSTICS
       era_restore returns an exit code of 0 for success or 1 for error.
