service

--service={mms|ams|asn}

Specifies the Acronis service to connect to.

If not specified, the command-line utility connects to the agent service (Acronis Managed Machine Service, MMS). To connect to a storage node or the management server (available in on-premise deployments only), you must explicitly specify the asn or the ams service in the --service parameter. This parameter is required even if an agent is not installed on that server or is unable to execute the command by design.

Example

acrocmd recover vm --loc=\\<server>\<folder> --arc=<archive name> --vmname=<virtual machine name>

• You can run this command on a machine where Agent for VMware (Windows) and the command-line utility are installed. The command-line utility connects to the local agent. The agent executes the command.

acrocmd recover vm --loc=\\<server>\<folder> --arc=<archive name> --vmname=<virtual machine name> --host=<IP address or hostname> --credentials=<user name>,<password> --service=ams

• You can run this command on a machine where only the command-line utility is installed. In this case, the command-line utility connects to the management server that selects the agent that will execute the command.
