Managing the Data Protector Internal Database

Configuring the IDB

NOTE	On UNIX, you can use symbolic links to relocate the directories, but the
	links are not allowed beneath the /var/opt/omni/db40/datafiles
	directory.

Follow the described below to relocate the IDB directories:

1.Stop all backups and other Data Protector activities and run the omnisv -stopcommand to stop the Data Protector services:

•On Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnisv -stop

•On UNIX: /opt/omni/sbin/omnisv -stop

If the IDB is installed on MC/ServiceGuard, run the cmhaltpkg <pkg_name> command on the active node to stop the Data Protector package, where <pkg_name> is the name of the Data Protector cluster package.

2.Rename the <IDB_dir> directory that you want to move to

<IDB_dir>.save. For example, to relocate the transaction logs and the IDB recovery file, rename

<Data_Protector_home>\db40\logfiles to

<Data_Protector_home>\db40\logfiles.save (on Windows), or

/var/opt/omni/db40/logfiles to /var/opt/omni/db40/logfiles.save (on UNIX).

3.Create a new empty directory with the same relative path, for example <Data_Protector_home>\db40\logfiles on Windows systems, or /var/opt/omni/db40/logfiles on UNIX systems.

4.On Windows, add a new disk or mount a new volume at an NTFS folder as <Data_Protector_home>\db40\<IDB_dir>. For example, mount it as <Data_Protector_home>\db40\logfiles.

On UNIX, add a new disk or create a new logical volume and mount it as /var/opt/omni/db40/<IDB_dir>. For example, mount it as

/var/opt/omni/db40/logfiles.

5.Copy the contents of <IDB_dir>.save into <IDB_dir> on the new disk or new volume.

6.Run the omnisv -startcommand to start the Data Protector services:

• On Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnisv -start
