Managing the Data Protector Internal Database
Configuring the IDB
Chapter 9 394
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 -stop command 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 -start command to start the Data Protector
services:
• On Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnisv -start
