Note: Note the following points before you run this command:
The infacmd ldm restoreContents command uses the following syntax:
restoreContents

<-DomainName|-dn> domain_name

<-UserName|-un> user_name

<-Password|-pd> password

<-ServiceName|-sn> service_name

[<-SecurityDomain|-sdn> security_domain]

[<-ResilienceTimeout|-re> timeout_period_in_seconds]

<-InputFileName|-if> input_file_name (Complete path of backup ZIP file on local machine. The content of ZIP file will be copied to cluster.)

[<-Force|-fr> force(This is to forcefully clean the existing contents of cluster where data is to be restored and restore the backup data from scratch)]

The following table describes infacmd ldm restoreContents options and arguments:

Argument
Description
-DomainName
-dn
domain_name

Required if the domain uses Native or LDAP authentication. User name to connect to the domain. You can set the user name with the -un option or the environment variable INFA_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_USER. If you set a user name with both methods, the -un option takes precedence.

Optional. Amount of time in seconds that infacmd attempts to establish or reestablish a connection to the domain. You can set the resilience timeout period with the -re option or the environment variable INFA_CLIENT_RESILIENCE_TIMEOUT. If you set the resilience timeout period with both methods, the -re option takes precedence.
-InputFileName
-if
input_file_name

-Force
-fr
