DCBF location
By default, the DCBF is located in the following directory:
•On Windows Server 2008: Data_Protector_program_data\db40\dcbf
•On other Windows systems: Data_Protector_home\db40\dcbf
•On UNIX systems: /var/opt/omni/server/db40/dcbf
Consider the disk space on the Cell Manager and relocate the DC directory, if necessary. You can create more DC directories and locate them to different disks. Create several DC directories only if the number of media/DC binary files grows very large (several thousand) or if you have space problems. For more information, see the online Help index: “DC directories“.
Session Messages Binary Files (SMBF)
SMBF records
The Session Messages Binary Files stores session messages generated during backup, restore, copy, and media management sessions. One binary file is created per session. The files are grouped by year and month.
SMBF size and growth
The SMBF size depends on the following:
•The number of sessions performed, since one binary file is created per session.
•The number of messages in a session. One session message occupies approximately 200 bytes on Windows and 130 bytes on UNIX systems. You can change the amount of messages displayed when backup, restore, and media management operations are performed by specifying the Report level option. This also influences the amount of messages stored in the IDB. For more details, see the online Help.
SMBF location
The SMBF is located in the following directory:
•On Windows Server 2008: Data_Protector_program_data\db40\msg
•On other Windows systems: Data_Protector_home\db40\msg
•On UNIX systems: /var/opt/omni/server/db40/msg
You can relocate the directory by editing the SessionMessageDir global option. For more information on the Data Protector global options file, see the HP Data Protector troubleshooting guide.
