Manager-of-Managers Environment

Configuring a Centralized Media Management Database

TIP

If you are configuring a new cell, (and you do not yet have devices and

 

media configured) there is no need to merge the database. You only want

 

to merge cells with the CMMDB that already have devices and media

 

configured.

 

 

3.Run the following command to synchronize the local CDB:

On Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnidbutil -cdbsync<Cell_Server_Hostname>

On UNIX: /opt/omni/sbin/omnidbutil -cdbsync <Cell_Server_Hostname>

4.On the MoM Server, edit the duplicated names of media pools and devices (in the user interface). The duplicated names have a “_N” appended to their name, where N represents a number. This always happens to default pools if they exist on both cells. In this case, manually change the backup specifications that use these devices to use the new device names. It would be a good idea to add a line to the media pool’s description to say from which cell the pool has come.

Repeat the steps 2 to 4 for all client cells that you want to add to the

CMMDB.

Configuring the CMMDB on the Client Cell

On each MOM client cell, perform the following:

1.Log on to the Cell Manager of the client cell as Administrator or root.

2.Create the file containing the name of the MMDB Server (fully qualified):

On Windows:

<Data_Protector_home>\config\cell\mmdb_server

Save the file as Unicode.

On UNIX: /etc/opt/omni/cell/mmdb_server

3.Stop and restart the Data Protector services. See “Restarting Data Protector Services” on page 364.

4.Update configuration files by running the following command:
