CLI Reference

Overview

Every node provides CLI that can be used to manage configuration and invoke tasks on vPlus Node. All of the commands are executed using vprotect command. The general syntax is as shown below:

vprotect
# usage: vprotect <COMMAND> -<ARG_1> ... -<ARG_N>
# COMMAND is one of the following:
#  node                   Node management

Starting and stopping node

To check if vPlus Node is running, run:
```
systemctl status vprotect-node
```
or
```
vprotect status
```

To start vPlus Node run:

systemctl start vprotect-node

vprotect start

To safely stop vPlus Node (this command waits for all tasks to be canceled, so that temporary objects are cleaned up) run:
```
systemctl stop vprotect-node
```
or
```
vprotect stop
```
In emergency cases you may need to kill the engine without task clean up - get PID of the node by running:
```
vprotect status
```
and kill process using:
```
kill <PID>
```

To log in to CLI use the following command:
```
vprotect login -u USER_NAME
```

where USER_NAME is your admin account in vPlus. You will be prompted for a password. From this moment you are able to execute commands.

Once you completed working with CLI, you can log out by running:
```
vprotect logout -u
```

Note about GUIDs

All of the commands require GUID of the object that you want to refer to in the command. GUID is found in the first column of typical list command, e.g.:

Let's list VMs and get VM GUID:

 vprotect vm -l
                 <!-- GUID                              Name                   Hypervisor       Present   VM group    Protected       Last backup

Now let's show details of the VM:

vprotect vm -g b2555a74-97bb-44e4-9c68-ed1ac2ddffcd

Note. UUID is the ID used by the hypervisor or HV manager, while GUID is the ID used by vPlus to uniquely identify objects.

Node GUID can be replaced by this keyword to state that action such as restore or mount is going to be run on the node where the command is executed from. For instance, to restore or backup with given GUID on current node to /vprotect_data:

vprotect br -r 2132182d-e9ab-4478-a1db-48222b0e515b this /vprotect_data

Similarly, backup destinations can be referred to by names. So a backup of some VM with given GUID to backup destination with name ISP can be done like this:

vprotect br -b b6f96d43-6f55-468f-a7a0-8aa6219fdf4e ISP

Nodes

To list or register node use vprotect node sub-command:

vprotect node
# Incorrect syntax: Missing required option: [-r Register node, -R Check and Register node, -d Delete node, -e Register existing node, -l List nodes]

# usage: node -d <GUID | NAME> | -e <NODE_NAME> <ADMIN_LOGIN> <API_URL> <[PASSWORD]> | -l | -r <NODE_NAME> <ADMIN_LOGIN> <API_URL> <[PASSWORD]> | -R <NODE_NAME> <ADMIN_LOGIN> <API_URL> <[PASSWORD]>
# Node management
#  -d,--delete <GUID | NAME>                                                  Delete node
#  -e,--register-existing <NODE_NAME> <ADMIN_LOGIN> <API_URL> <[PASSWORD]>    Register existing node
#  -l,--list                                                                  List nodes
#  -r,--register <NODE_NAME> <ADMIN_LOGIN> <API_URL> <[PASSWORD]>             Register node
#  -R,--check-and-register <NODE_NAME> <ADMIN_LOGIN> <API_URL> <[PASSWORD]>   Check and Register node

Examples (Nodes)

To list all nodes registered
```
vprotect node -l
```

Example node registration

vprotect node -r node1 admin https://localhost:8181/api

You may need to re-register a node if vPlusServer address changes
```
vprotect node -e node1 admin https://localhost:8181/api
```

Node configurations

Use vprotect config sub-command add/remove backup destinations from node config, list, or show details of node configs.

vprotect config
# Incorrect syntax: Missing argument for option: s

# usage: config -b <CONFIG_GUID> <[BD_GUID|BD_NAME],...,[BD_GUID|BD_NAME]> | -c <NAME> | -d <GUID> | -g <GUID> | -l | -r <CONFIG_GUID> <[BD_GUID|BD_NAME],...,[BD_GUID|BD_NAME]> | -s <GUID> <PROPERTY_NO.> <VALUE | "MAPPING1=VALUE1;MAPPING2=VALUE2">

#  -d,--delete <GUID>                                                                        Delete node config
#  -g,--details <GUID>                                                                       Show config details
#  -l,--list                                                                                 List node configs
#  -r,--remove-backup-destinations <CONFIG_GUID> <[BD_GUID|BD_NAME],...,[BD_GUID|BD_NAME]>   Remove backup destinations
#  -s,--set <GUID> <PROPERTY_NO.> <VALUE | "MAPPING1=VALUE1;MAPPING2=VALUE2">                Modify node config.

Setting up parameters for node configuration

In general vprotect config -s <GUID> <PROPERTY_NO.> <VALUE> the command sets the value of a property with the given number of node configurations with GUID. Property numbers are returned in a detailed view of each node configuration. After you create node configuration, show default values with -g. Then use property numbers (the first number in the property/value line of the detailed view).

Examples (Node configurations)

To list all node configurations

vprotect config -l

                <!-- GUID                       Name       Default  Nodes  Backup destinations  Modification time

To add backup destination (second GUID) to the given node configuration (first GUID):
```
vprotect config -b c95fb3cc-e567-11eb-8446-566fc400002d f27b6018-ce1c-4d67-991e-31d9f4f6662b
```
More backup destinations can be added by separating GUIDs with commas.

Backup destinations

The backup destination management module is used to add and remove a backup destination (a backup provider instance with retention settings). A backup destination must be assigned to a group for the scheduler to know where to put backups during automatic backup. For on-demand backup, you just need to specify which backup destination should be used.

Backup destinations are assigned to the node configuration. This means that nodes using such configuration are configured to store backups in the selected backup destinations.

Note. The backup task will fail if it is not able to assign a node because the given BD is not assigned to the node config of the node that is required to be used for the given hypervisor.

To manage backup destinations in the system used vprotect bd sub-command.

vprotect bd
# Required option: [-r Reinitialize backup destination, -c Create backup destination (type = ["filesystem", "netbackup", "networker", "s3", "swift", "isp", "azure", "gcs", "avamar"]), -s Modify backup destination, -d Delete backup destination, -D Remove old backups, -g Show backup destination details, -l List backup destinations]

# usage: bd -c <NAME> <TYPE> | -d <GUID | NAME> | -D <[GUID | NAME],...,[GUID | NAME]> | -g <GUID | NAME> | -l | -r <[GUID]> | -s <GUID |

# Backup destination management
#  -c,--create <NAME> <TYPE>                                   Create backup destination (type = ["filesystem", "netbackup", "networker",
#                                                              "s3", "swift", "isp", "azure", "gcs", "avamar"])
#  -d,--delete <GUID | NAME>                                   Delete backup destination
#  -D,--remove-old-backups <[GUID | NAME],...,[GUID | NAME]>   Remove old backups
#  -g,--details <GUID | NAME>                                  Show backup destination details
#  -l,--list                                                   List backup destinations
#  -r,--reinit <[GUID]>                                        Reinitialize backup destination
#  -s,--set <GUID | NAME> <PROPERTY_NO.> <VALUE>               Modify backup destination

Setting up parameters for backup destinations

In general vprotect bd -s <GUID> <PROPERTY_NO.> <VALUE> command sets value of property with the given number of BD with GUID. Property numbers are returned in detailed view of each BD (fields obviously are different for each backup provider). After you create backup destination, show default values with -g. Then use property numbers (first number in the property/value line of the detailed view).

Retention time settings are interpreted in days (just give a number without any additional suffixes).

There are however some mode/type fields that require a string to be typed in the correct format:

Amazon S3 - Backup mode - must be either:
- SINGLE_BUCKET - single bucket for all VMs
- ONE_BUCKET_PER_VM - separate bucket for each VM (note that default limit is 100 buckets in Amazon S3)
Swift - Auth method - authentication method used to authenticate Swift BD:
- BASIC
- TEMPAUTH
- KEYSTONE
Time zones must be specified in the format shown in this table: List of tz database time zones

Examples (backup destinations)

To list all backup destinations
```
vprotect bd -l
```

To show details of the given HV manager (by GUID) - note that each BD has a different set of fields - numbers at the beginning of a line indicate an identifier of a field you want to set from CLI:

vprotect bd -g 3263b196-056e-4485-9e8f-932798b58eb3

HV managers (oVirt/RHV/Oracle VM/Nutanix/Kubernetes)

Hypervisor manager management module is used to add, remove hypervisor managers (currently only oVirt and RHV managers) and invoke indexing task. Indexing tasks gathers information about hypervisors and VMs running in the managed environment and updates their location if the VM has been moved to the different hypervisor.

To manage HV managers in the system usedvprotect hvm sub-command.

Note. If you're using RHV/oVirt/Oracle VM/Nutanix/Kubernetes then hypervisors will be detected automatically as a part of the index task. So there is no need to define every hypervisor manually as they will be detected automatically.

Examples (HV managers)

To list all hypervisor managers
```
vprotect hvm -l
```
To show details of the given HV manager (by GUID)
```
vprotect hvm -g 4c999c85-e223-4df3-9c40-7b0115234c8c
```
To index VMs and hypervisors on the given HV manager:
```
vprotect hvm -s 4c999c85-e223-4df3-9c40-7b0115234c8c
```
To create a HV manager you need to execute the following commands:
- Create HV manger entry with given type:
  vprotect hvm -c https://dovirt-m.lab.local/ovirt-engine/api/v3 rhev
- Use GUID returned to set credentials:
  vprotect hvm -u 4c999c85-e223-4df3-9c40-7b0115234c8c admin@internal password
- By default current node configuration is used for created HV manager - you may change it with this command (first HV GUID, then node configuration GUID):
  vprotect hvm -n 4c999c85-e223-4df3-9c40-7b0115234c8c e2673e8f-66fc-4e9f-aaef-20958c4c2b01
  Hypervisors connected to the HV manager will have node configuration of the HV manager assigned by default. For backup export always node configuration assigned to the HV is used.

Hypervisors

The Hypervisor management module is used to add, remove hypervisors and invoke indexing tasks. Indexing tasks gather information about VMs running on the hypervisor and update their location if the VM has been moved within the pool.

To manage hypervisors in the system used vprotect hv sub-command.

Note. If you're using RHV/oVirt/Oracle VM then hypervisors will be detected automatically as a part of the index task. So there is no need to define OVM hypervisors and for RHV/oVirt KVM hosts will be detected automatically.

Examples (Hypervisors)

To list all hypervisors
```
vprotect hv -l
```
To show details of the given hypervisor (by GUID)
```
vprotect hv -g c93140b8-a898-4aff-8eef-645587ca8289
```

To index VMs on the given HV:

vprotect hv -s c93140b8-a898-4aff-8eef-645587ca8289

To create a hypervisor you need to execute the following commands:
- Create HV entry with given type:
  vprotect hv -c 1.2.3.4 citrix
- Use GUID returned to set credentials:
  vprotect hv -u a757c6e8-ece0-467b-b912-dfe393d1e421 root password
- By default current node configuration is used for created hypervisor - you may change it with this command (first HV GUID, then node configuration GUID):
  vprotect hv -n a757c6e8-ece0-467b-b912-dfe393d1e421 e2673e8f-66fc-4e9f-aaef-20958c4c2b01

#  -sp,--set-storage-provider <GUID> <STORAGE_PROVIDER_GUID>>     Assign Storage Provider to Hypervisor Cluster. No value unassigns Storage Provider

Examples (Hypervisor clusters)

To list all detected clusters:
```
vprotect hc -l
```
To delete a cluster with GUID 107bc87a-9adf-4d6c-b732-345dd06c59e9:
```
vprotect hc -d 107bc87a-9adf-4d6c-b732-345dd06c59e9
```

Hypervisor storage

Hypervisor storage management module enables you to view and remove storage detected on RHV/oVirt/Nutanix/OVM/XenServer environments. You can select storage in the restore dialog box for XenServer/Nutanix and RHV/oVirt (v4) platforms.

To view or delete them used vprotect hs sub-command.

vprotect hs
# Incorrect syntax: Missing required option: [-d Delete HV storage, -l List HV storage]

# usage: hs -d <GUID> | -l
# Hypervisor storage management
#  -d,--delete <GUID>   Delete HV storage

```

Virtual machines

The Virtual machine management module is used to provide information about VMs that has been detected on hypervisors, report the status of the last backup of your VMs (and all backups for a particular VM) and set priority for operations invoked on VM.

To manage VMs in the system used vprotect vm sub-command.

VMs are detected automatically during Index tasks executed on the HV or HV manager.

VM backup policies

Virtual machine backup policies management module is used to define backup policies of VMs. You can assign different backup priorities for a policy when the scheduler invokes a backup task. You need first to define a VM policy and then add VMs to it. VM can belong only to a single backup policy.

To manage VM policies in the system use vprotect vmpolicy sub-command.

VMs are assigned automatically to the policy only if VM has no policy assigned already. If an automatic assignment has been turned on for a policy and either name of the VM matches the regular expression, or tag-detected (Citrix/oVirt/RHV/Oracle VM) matches tag defined for the policy, VM is assigned to the policy, and all schedules for a policy will also be automatically invoked for this VM.

Note. it is important to assign a backup destination for a policy (required for a node to know where to store backups).

vprotect vmpolicy

Snapshot management policies for VMs

The snapshot management policies module enables CDM for your VMs and manages their retention. Currently, it is supported for KVM, Citrix, RHV/oVirt/OLVM platforms.

To manage snapshot policies for VMs in the system use vprotect vm-snappolicy sub-command.

VMs are assigned automatically to the policy only if VM has no policy assigned already. If an automatic assignment has been turned on for a policy and either name of the VM matches a regular expression, or tag-detected (Citrix/RHV/oVirt/OLVM) matches tag defined for the policy, VM is assigned to the policy, and all schedules for a policy will also be automatically invoked for this VM.

Note. Only VMs with assigned snapshot management policy can be a snapshot from the CLI or UI.

Storages are assigned automatically to the policy only if storage has no policy assigned already. If an automatic assignment has been turned on for a policy and the name of the storage matches the regular expression, storage is assigned to the policy, and all schedules for a policy will also be automatically invoked for this storage.

Note. only storage with an assigned snapshot management policy can be a snapshot from the CLI or UI.

Examples (Snapshot management policies for storage)

To list all snapshot policies

vprotect storage-snappolicy -l

To show details of the given snapshot policy (by GUID)

vprotect storage-snappolicy -g 3afcd507-a4f5-484d-8d34-53c73d7a5809

To create a new policy

vprotect storage-snappolicy -c "My Policy"

To set 2 schedules (GUIDs are comma-separated) for a policy (first GUID):

vprotect vm-snappolicy -s 3afcd507-a4f5-484d-8d34-53c73d7a5809 \
 391203e3-ad6c-4532-b69c-78b3a5c

Schedules

The schedule management module is used to create schedules associated with VMs or groups of VMs. Each schedule defines the days of a week and the hour when the backup tasks should be invoked. Each schedule also defines a time window in which the backup process must start. If the task queue is full and the tasks start after the specified amount of time from the schedule – it will be canceled and marked as failed.

Note.

Tasks in the queue are run in order from the highest to the lowest priority.
You can assign multiple schedules if you need backup to be executed at different hours on different days.
Remember always to assign schedules to VM or VM group – schedule can be assigned only to a single VM or VM group.

To manage schedules in the system used vprotect sched sub-command.

vprotect sched

Examples (Schedules)

To list all schedules
```
vprotect sched -l
```
To create a full virtual machine backup schedule with a name Schedule1 executed every day at 05:00 with 60 minutes of time window:
```
vprotect sched -c Schedule1 VM_BACKUP FULL TIME 05:00 60 everyday any any
```
To create an incremental virtual machine backup schedule with a name Schedule2 executed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 17:00 with 90 minutes of time window:
```
vprotect sched -c Schedule2 VM_BACKUP INCREMENTAL TIME 17:00 90 mon,wed,fri any any
```

Note. Days of the week are provided as a single comma-separated string of short (3-letter) weekday names

Mounted backups

The Mounted backup management module is used to mount and unmounts backups on the given node. This feature is currently supported for RHV/oVirt/OVM VMs. Each mounted backup can be mounted automatically (auto-detection of mount points within a single root or manually with separate mount points for each volume.

To invoke mount/unmount tasks use vprotect mnt sub-command.

vprotect mnt

Tasks

The Task Management module is used to show and cancel tasks being executed. You can also monitor the progress of the tasks.

Note.

Tasks in the queue are run in order from the highest to the lowest priority.
The queue is being periodically cleaned, so only the last tasks are being shown.

To manage tasks use vprotect task sub-command.

vprotect task
# Incorrect syntax: Missing required option: [-Q List queued tasks, -R List running tasks, -d Delete/cancel task, -F List finished (including failed) tasks, -g Show task details, -l List tasks (this node only), -L List tasks (all nodes and not assigned to any node)]

# usage: task -d <GUID> | -F | -g <GUID> | -l | -L | -Q | -R
# Task management
#  -d,--delete <GUID>    Delete/cancel task
#  -F,--list-finished    List finished (including failed) tasks
#  -g,--details <GUID>   Show task details
#  -l,--list             List tasks (this node only)
#  -L,--list-all         List tasks (all nodes and not assigned to any node)
#  -Q,--list-queued      List queued tasks
#  -R,--list-running     List running tasks

Examples (Tasks)

To list tasks assigned to the current node:
```
vprotect task -l
```
To list all tasks in the system:
```
vprotect task -L
```

To show task details:

vprotect task -g 091d623d-edea-490f-8b3b-da30c09a3f93

To cancel the task with ID 091d623d-edea-490f-8b3b-da30c09a3f93:
```
vprotect task -d 091d623d-edea-490f-8b3b-da30c09a3f93
```

Note. Some tasks may need to be finished before they are cancelled, for example export VM from the hypervisor – after cancellation it may take some time for the task to process the cancel request and clean up the snapshots etc. If necessary, the backup will be marked as failed.

Project

The Project module is used to view details and set a quota for available projects.

vprotect project
# Incorrect syntax: Missing required option: [-g Show Project details, -l List Projects, -sQ Set Project Quota]

# usage: project -g <GUID> | -l | -sQ <GUID> <QUOTA_GUID>
# Project management
#  -g,--details <GUID>                   Show Project details
#  -l,--list                             List Projects
#  -sQ,--set-quota <GUID> <QUOTA_GUID>   Set Project Quota

Examples (Project)

To list all projects:
```
vprotect project -l
```
To set quota with GUID 6f0bfb3c-24dd-4d12-8a72-997ded2ecc98 to project with GUID ca707d31-f403-40d5-b160-6ac512457b87

To list all Applications
```
vprotect app -l
```
To show details of the given Application (by GUID)
```
vprotect app -g 0f36f40c-6427-4035-9f2b-1ead6aca3597
```

To add Application (first GUID) to the given policy (second GUID):

vprotect app -A 0f36f40c-6427-4035-9f2b-1ead6aca3597 3afcd507-a4f5-484d-8d34-53c73d7a5809

To show backup history of a VM with given GUID:

vprotect app -L 0f36f40c-6427-4035-9f2b-1ead6aca3597

Application backup policies

Application backup policies management module is used to define backup policies for Applications. You can assign different backup priorities for a policy when the scheduler invokes a backup task. You need first to define the application backup policy and then add Applications to it. The Application can belong only to a single backup policy.

To manage Application policies in the system used vprotect apppolicy sub-command.

Note. It is important to assign a backup destination for a policy (required for a node to know where to store backups).

Application backup policies are supposed to have multiple rules (but currently vProtect supports exactly 1 rule). Rule specifies schedules and backup destinations for the policies.

vprotect apppolicy
# Required option: [-p Set policy's backup task priority (0-100, 50 = default), -rR Remove rules from policy, -A Assign applications to policy, -aR Add new rule to selected policy, -r List rules for application backup policy, -c Create application backup policy, -d Delete a policy, -U Unassign applications from policy, -g Show details, -l List policies, -m Modify application backup policy]

Examples (Application backup policies)

To list all application backup policies
```
vprotect apppolicy -l
```

To show details of the given application (by GUID)

vprotect apppolicy -g 3afcd507-a4f5-484d-8d34-53c73d7a5809

To create a new policy
```
vprotect apppolicy -c "My Policy" 50
```

To set backup destination for a policy:

Syntax: -aR <NAME> <POLICY_GUID> <SCHEDULE_GUID> <BACKUP_DESTINATION_GUID>
vprotect apppolicy -aR MyPolicyRule d804439e-aeda-4fea-8f79-710dc355d2d1 1076134b-4e29-45ea-8c79-1e8ca216a3b8  9038d316-5d02-4972-913b-4201f4947178

Application command execution management

Application command execution management module is used to define command execution for application. You can assign application to command definition or show details of command config. As you can see in the module syntax, you can do much more and we will show such operations in examples.

vprotect appconf

Recovery plans policies

The Recovery plans policies module is used to define recovery plans policies and rules for VMs. You can assign different restore priorities for a policy when the scheduler invokes the restore task. You need first to create a new policy and then add new rules to it.

vprotect recplan

Examples (Recovery plans policies)

To create new policy:

vprotect recplan -c "New Recovery Policy"

#                 GUID                         Name          Priority  Rules
# ------------------------------------  -------------------  --------  -----
# d76bb990-817d-47ca-ba04-1dbdeffacf2a  New Recovery Policy  50        0

To add new rule to selected policy:

vprotect recplan -aR Rule1 d76bb990-817d-47ca-ba04-1dbdeffacf2a
# Property      Value
# ------------  ------------------------------------

# GUID          d76bb990-817d-47ca-ba04-1dbdeffacf2a
# Name          New Recovery Policy
# Priority      50
# No. of rules  1

To list policies:

vprotect recplan -l

#                 GUID                         Name          Priority  Rules
# ------------------------------------  -------------------  --------  -----
# d76bb990-817d-47ca-ba04-1dbdeffacf2a  New Recovery Policy  50        1

To list rules assigned to policy:

vprotect recplan -r d76bb990-817d-47ca-ba04-1dbdeffacf2a

#                 GUID                  Name   VMs  Hypervisor Type  Hypervisor Manager Type  Hypervisor  Hypervisor Manager  Node  Backup Selection  Active  Restore Storage Id  Restore Cluster Id  Target VM Name  Target Project  Restore Path  Overwrite  Base Image  Data Center  Disk Allocation Format  Use auto generated name
# ------------------------------------  -----  ---  ---------------  -----------------------  ----------  ------------------  ----  ----------------  ------  ------------------  ------------------  --------------  --------------  ------------  ---------  ----------  -----------  ----------------------  -----------------------
# 6f0cc9ae-5842-4339-aee1-c8d21904317b  Rule1  []   -                -                        -           -                   -     Last successful   true    null  null  null  null  null  true       -           -            -                       false

To select the virtual machine you want to restore using a rule :

vprotect vm -l      # To list virtual machines and their GUID's

vprotect recplan -sRv 6f0cc9ae-5842-4339-aee1-c8d21904317b f2354325-562e-465b-abc4-c4db51036b80

                <!-- GUID                         Name          Priority  Rules
------------------------------------  -------------------  --------  -----
d76bb990-817d-47ca-ba04-1dbdeffacf2a  New Recovery Policy  50        1 -->
