Running Server Recovery Option from a command line
You can initiate recoveries without using the Recovery Manager GUI. The same executable that launches the GUI can be used
from a command prompt with options. The command line execution opens the GUI, passes through specified parameters, and
initiates specified processes. You may want to use this alternate execution if you have different configuration files that you
want to execute or if you have multiple recoveries. The Recovery Manager command can be initiated one at a time from a
command prompt, or it can be scripted.
The Recovery Manager executable is located in the Storage Mirroring installation directory.
