HP B6960-90078 manual Creating an Additional Copy of the IDB Recovery File

Managing the Data Protector Internal Database

Configuring the IDB

•On UNIX: /opt/omni/sbin/omnisv -start

If the IDB is installed on MC/ServiceGuard, run the cmrunpkg <pkg_name> command on the active node to start the Data Protector package.

Creating an Additional Copy of the IDB Recovery File

Creating an additional copy of the IDB recovery file prevents you from losing important data for IDB recovery.

Use the following steps to make another copy of the IDB recovery file:

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.

If the IDB is installed on Microsoft Cluster Server, take the

OBVS_VELOCIS cluster group offline using the Cluster Administrator utility on the active node.

2.Edit the global options file by setting the value for the RecoveryIndexDir variable: specify an additional location where Data Protector makes a copy of the IDB recovery file, obrindex.dat. It is recommended to specify a different physical disk.

3.Run the omnisv -startcommand (on UNIX, located in the /opt/omni/sbin directory) to start the Data Protector services.

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

•On UNIX: /opt/omni/sbin/omnisv -start

If the IDB is installed on MC/ServiceGuard, run the cmrunpkg <pkg_name> command on the active node to start the Data Protector package.

If the IDB is installed on Microsoft Cluster Server, bring the OBVS_VELOCIS and OBVS_MCRS cluster groups online using the Cluster Administrator utility.
