Operating system related commands

FlushCache

command

Syntax

FlushCache -VirtualDisk MountedVirtualDiskOrSnapshotName

Description

Flushes the memory cache of the operating system associated with a VSM virtual disk or snapshot
mounted on the computer.

IMPORTANT:

This command is only valid for Windows 2003/2008. For other operating systems, a device dismount
will also force the cache flush.

MountVirtualDisk

command

Syntax

MountVirtualDisk -MountPoint H:\, -VirtualDisk VirtualDiskName ~

[, -Partition Partition] [, -Override]

Description

Mounts a virtual disk or snapshot. The virtual disk or snapshot must have at least one file system
(partition) on it.

The following are rules for the Windows operating system:

The mount point must always end with a backslash (for example, Q:\ or H:\MP\).

If the mount point is a drive letter, it must be a free drive letter (or use the -Override argument).

If the mount point points to a folder, the target folder must be empty or nonexistent, and it must
be an NTFS file system.

The -Partition argument is optional, and has the following guidelines:

If using the -Partition argument in Windows, the specific partition is mounted as a partition
number (as a string).

If using the -Partition argument in UNIX, the specific partition is mounted as a logical virtual
disk name.
