Managing the Data Protector Internal Database

Recovering the IDB

Chapter 9

425

• Verify that Data Protector is installed on the Cell Manager and the

system where a device is attached (preferably, the device used for the
IDB backup).

• If the IDB is installed on MC/ServiceGuard, run the

cmhaltpkg

command on the active node before performing the

guided autorecovery, to stop the Data Protector package. When the
guided autorecovery has finished, run the

cmrunpkg

command on the active node to start the Data Protector package,
where

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 before performing the guided autorecovery.
When the guided autorecovery has finished, bring the

OBVS_VELOCIS

and

OBVS_MCRS

cluster groups online using the Cluster

Administrator utility.

Recovery
Procedure

1. Run the following command to create a text file with the restore job

options:

omnidbrestore -logview -autorecover -skiprestore -save

C:\TEMP\restjob.txt

IMPORTANT

The specified

-logview

command lists first transaction logs, next to the

session IDs. Remember the first transaction log for the session you want
to restore, because you will need it in order to update the IDB after the
restore. For example, from the output

2001/02/09-2 AAAAAAH

, you

would remember the first transaction log

AAAAAAH

in order to restore the

2001/02/09-2

session.

The created

restjob.txt

file has the information on original devices

and on slots in which media were originally located (at IDB backup
time).

For example, if the IDB backup was done on a DDS drive with the SCSI
address

scsi0:0:0:0

, a file like this is created:

-name LDEV

-policy 1

-type 1
