Customizing the Data Protector Environment

Using Omnirc Options

	Using Omnirc Options
	The omnirc options are most useful for troubleshooting or overriding
	other settings affecting the behavior of the Data Protector client only.
	However, even advanced users should not use them unless their
	operating environment demands it. The Disk Agents and Media Agents
	use the values of these options.
	These options are found in the following locations:
Locations	• /opt/omni/.omnirc on HP-UX and Solaris clients
	• /usr/omni/.omnirc on other UNIX clients
	• <Data_Protector_home>\omnirc on Windows clients
	• sys:\usr\omni\omnirc on Novell NetWare clients
How to Use	Installation provides a template for the omnirc file (.omnirc.TMPL or
Omnirc Options?	omnirc.TMPL, depending on the platform). This file is not active. To
	create an active omnirc file, copy the template file to omnirc (or .omnirc)
	and edit it. To use a specific option, uncomment the line (remove the '#'
	character) and edit the value if necessary.
	• When creating the omnirc file (either by copying or by using an
	editor), verify its permissions. On UNIX, permissions will be set
	according to your umask settings and may be such that some
	processes may be unable to read the file.
	Set the permissions to 644 manually.
	• When changing the omnirc file, you have to restart the Data
	Protector services/daemons on the Data Protector client where you
	modified the omnirc file. This is mandatory for the crs daemon on
	UNIX and recommended for Data Protector CRS and Inet services on
	Windows. Specifically on Windows, restarting is not required when
	adding or changing entries, only when removing entries (or renaming
	the file).
