Preparing for a Disaster Recovery

Omnisrdupdate

requires a

session_ID

to update an existing SRD file

with backup object information belonging to the given session. Using this
value,

omnisrdupdate

will update the SRD file with the backup object

information which belongs to the passed

session_ID

value. After the

SRD is updated it will be saved back on the Cell Manager.

This procedure will only succeed if all critical backup objects (as specified
in the SRD file) were actually backed up during the specified session. To
view which objects are considered as critical for the SRD update, open
the SRD file in a text editor and find the objects section. All critical
objects for the SRD update are listed there. Note that the database is
represented as “/”.

Here is an example of an objects section of the SRD file:

-section objects

-objcount 3

-object /C -objtype 6 -objpurpose 283

-endobject /C

-object / -objtype 3 -objpurpose 32

-endobject /

-object /CONFIGURATION -objtype 6 -objpurpose 4

-endobject /CONFIGURATION

-endsection objects

In this case, there are 3 critical objects:

/C

,

/

(database) and

/

CONFIGURATION

.

TIP

To obtain the session ID, execute the

omnidb

command with the option

-session

. To obtain the latest session ID, at the command prompt type

omnidb -session -latest

.

The updated SRD file should be kept in a safe place so that it is not lost
in the case of disaster. To locate where the updated SRD file will be
saved, use the

-location

option with the

omnisrdupdate

command.

There can be more than one

-location

parameters specified (including

network shares on which you have write permission), each of which will
receive an updated copy of the SRD file. See “Preparation” on page 451.
