2 years ago Hi @dragongeek I have updated the script with the following parameters to view and select the restore point. Let me know if that helps. https://github.com/bseltz-cohesity/scripts/tree/master/python/instantVolumeMount -l, --showversions: show available versions -start, --start: show versions after date -end, --end: show versions before date -r, --runid: use specific run ID

2 years ago If it matters, I have both Python 2.7.5 and 3.6.8, but python defaults to version 2. I can get the -l and --start and to work, but -t, -e, --end and --runid give the errors below: [root@radar python]# instantVolumeMount.py -v liscohobkup -u apiuser -d local -s nuka02 --end "2022-08-23 23:00:03" Connected!

From the code, it looks like -e and -t are already defined for other purposes.

2 years ago It still doesn't seem to work for me. If there's anything you need which I didn't include below, please let me know. And to be clear, I used the curl commands to download the code again, (after renaming the old version with a suffix), and you can see the directory listings below. I also verified they have the Unix line endings (I've been tripped by that one with Git before - LOL!)

2 years ago Just like in the UI, guest credentials are required when performing instant volume mount on a VM. The credentials can be omitted for physical servers that have the agent installed.

2 years ago It has the credentials stored using your mechanism already. It is running backups from here every night. This works with the same credentials!

2 years ago No I'm referring to the [-n TARGETUSERNAME] [-p TARGETPASSWORD] parameters to authenticate to the VM during the volume mount. These are required when mounting to a VM

2 years ago Oh, Sorry about that. I missed the '-a' needed to specify the already configured Agent! Some days I can't get enough caffeine in my system to cover for my distracted brain. >_<
Thanks so much for your help. I've told my management how wonderfully responsive you've been. Now I get to tell them I was blind in my hurry. (That's ok, we're all overworked here so they'll forgive me.)

2 years ago OH, I was poking more and found that if I add the -l then start and end options, it lists the range. I'm used to seeing an extra pair of braces around a required option group, e.g. instantVolumeMount.py ... [ -l [ -start START ] [ -end END ] ]
Now how about the runid option? Did I miss something with it? It should be using the stored credentials which I've been running with for a few months now.

2 years ago Remember you either have to use -a, or use -n and -p -n, --targetusername: (optional) only required if agent is not already installed (VM) -p, --targetpassword: (optional) only required if agent is not already installed (VM) -a, --useexistingagent: (optional) use existing agent during mount to a VM
I don't see the option to specify a previous date to restore in instantVolumeMount.py. Is that not in the API, or did I miss something? Sometimes one backup takes more than 24 hours, and then the IVM gets out of time from the backup when the next days' runs and completes before the prior.
