Managing the Data Protector Internal Database

Restoring the IDB

NOTE

You should not select the <Data_Protector_home> directory, as this

 

directory is the original location of the IDB.

 

 

If you want to restore to a different system, specify the new Cell

 

 

 

 

Manager’s name.

Moving the IDB to the Original Location

 

After you have restored the IDB to a temporary location, you need to

 

move the IDB directories to their original location. Proceed as follows:

On an UNIX Cell

1. Stop all running Data Protector sessions and close the Data Protector

Manager

 

GUI. This prevents access to the IDB.

 

2.

Stop all Data Protector processes by running:

 

 

/opt/omni/sbin/omnisv -stop

 

3.

Move the existing IDB directories:

 

 

/var/opt/omni/db40 and /etc/opt/omni

 

 

This prevents merging of old and new files.

 

4.

Copy the IDB directories from the temporary directory to the original

 

 

directories

 

 

/var/opt/omni/ and /etc/opt/omni

 

 

If your extension files were located on some other directory, be sure to

 

 

copy them to the original disk and directory as well.

 

5.

Restart the Data Protector processes by running:

 

 

/opt/omni/sbin/omnisv -start

On a Windows Cell 1. Stop all running Data Protector sessions and close the Data Protector

Manager

GUI. This prevents access to the IDB.

2.Stop all Data Protector services by running:

<Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnisv -stop
