NAME

       cimreparchive - create an archive copy of the CIM Server repository

SYNOPSIS

       cimreparchive archive_file

       cimreparchive --help

       cimreparchive --version

DESCRIPTION

       The  cimreparchive  command creates an archive copy of the CIM Server repository in the specified archive_file. The archive copy is assured
       to contain a consistent repository state even if it is created while the CIM Server is running.

       The archive_file is created using the tar(1) command.  To restore the repository from the archive_file, stop the cimserver, move the active
       repository  files  to a different location, use tar(2) to extract the archived repository files, and restart the cimserver.  (Note that the
       repository location is printed when an archive file is created.)

   Options
       cimreparchive recognizes the following options:

	      --help	     Displays the command help message.

	      --version      Displays the CIM Server version number.

EXIT STATUS

       When an error occurs, an error message is written to the standard error stream and a non-zero exit status value is returned. The  following
       exit status values are defined:

	      0      Success

	      1      General error

	      2      Failed to initiate archive operation
