System Manager's Manual                        Device Mapper Tools                                era_restore(8)

era_restore  restores  era  metadata  created  by  the respective device-mapper target dumped into an XML
       formatted (see era_dump(8)) file, which optionally can be preprocessed  before  the  restore  to  another
       device  or  file.  If  restored  to a metadata device, the metadata can be processed by the device-mapper
       target.

       This tool cannot be run on live metadata.

era_restore returns an exit code of 0 for success or 1 for error.

       Restores the XML formatted era metadata on file metadata to logical volume /dev/vg/metadata  for  further
       processing by the respective device-mapper target:

           $ era_restore -i metadata -o /dev/vg/metadata

       -i,--input{xmlfile}
              Specify input file containing xml metadata.

       -o,--output{device|file}
              Output device or file for restored binary metadata.

           the metadata.
