Solved!
Go to SolutionCLI Command to enable access to a specific bookmark
I am trying to script a tape backup from a CDP copy of a database. I have already scripted the quiese and bookmark process on the database host. Now I need to access that bookmark on another host and can not for the life of me get the right syntax. I can access "latest" image but I can enable_image_access the bookmarked image directly.
Any assistance would bemuch appreciated.

Hey there
We have a RP CLI document, which you probably looked at on Powerlink
http://powerlink.emc.com/km/live1/en_US/Offering_Technical/Technical_Documentation/300-009-433.pdf?
Enable_image_access
Parameters
group=
copy=
[image=<...> | latest | prev | next]
[time=HH:MM[:SS[:MICROS]] [DD/MM/YYYY]]
[image_type=all | bookmark | user_bookmark | system_bookmark] (Default: all)
[search_text=<...>]
[exact_text=yes | no] (Default: yes)
[scn= ]
[max_search_range= months | weeks | days | hrs | mins | secs]
[access_mode=logged | virtual_with_roll | virtual_without_roll] (Default: logged)
So, an example would be
enable_image_access group="my group" image=latest image_type=all
Thanks
James.

This much I have working. The problem is that I do not want the "latest" bookmark. I want the one I named during the time the database was quiesed.2363

Color me pink... It was not obvious to me that the image parameter would accept a bookmark name. It makes perfect sense, though. I was trying to use the Image_type, search_text and exact_text parameters and they were simply not supplying any joy. Thank you!2369

2018 RP 5 - to use specific bookmark I have to use
image=search_image image_type=user_bookmark search_text='my bookmark label'
with image='my bookmark label' only - I will get a syntax error

Can you please provide the full command you're trying to run and the output ?
Granted you're providing the group and copy parameters, it should work.
Regards,

enable_image_acces group=mytestgroup image=my_bookmark copy=mycopy access_mode=virtual_with_roll
Error: Invalid ‘image’ parameter (with “,’ and without)
If it will, I will get something like “your splitter does not support virtual access”
RP 5.1c gen 5, vmax20k (something like rcm 6.0.19)
I have to use parameters as I have provided (search, user, text) to get it working.
I have run it now having copy accessible, it fails on syntax.

Indeed you should have either ' or "" for the value of image.
And the error you're getting on virtual access, that is expected as the VMAX2 splitter supports only logged access. Virtual access is supported with VNX, VNXe and Unity splitters.
Hope that helps,
Idan

And the question how to use it in a batch:
1. Force command "enable_image_access" to not ask for confirmation.
2. If using a set of commands with plink (-m command_file), I have almost always incorrect usage error from RP, while from normal ssh session it is ok. Any advise? The sequence is: set bookmark, enable images with this bookmark, set direct access and pause transfer.

So, typically it would be
enable_image_access group="my group" image="my 10am image"
Is this what you are trying?
You can build the command interactively via the CLI.
