To determine for which hostname the SRD file from the Cell Manager
should be updated, use the option

-host

with the command

omnisrdupdate

. If you don’t specify the hostname, the local host is

assumed. SRD file on the Cell Manager is not updated.

Example

To update the SRD file with the backup object information which belongs
to a session

2002/05/02-5

for the client with the hostname

computer.company.com

and to store an updated copy of the SRD file on

the floppy disk and in the

SRDfiles

share on computer with the

hostname

computer

2, type

omnisrdupdate -session 2002/05/02-5

-host computer.company.com

-location a: -location

\\computer2\SRDfiles

Make sure that you have the write permission on that share.

Using a Post-Exec
Script

Another method to update the SRD is using the

omnisrdupdate

command as a backup post-exec script. To do so you have to either
modify an existing backup specification or create a new one. Perform the
following steps to modify a backup specification so that the SRD file is
updated with information about backed up objects when the backup
session stops:

1. In the

Backup

context, expand the

Backup Specifications

item

and then

Filesystem

.

2. Select the backup specification that you would like to modify (it must

include all backup objects marked as critical in the SRD file,
otherwise the update will fail. It is recommended to perform the
client backup with disk discovery) and click

Options

in the

Results

Area

.

3. Click the

Advanced

button under the

Backup Specification

Options

.

4. Type

omnisrdupdate.exe

in the

post-exec

text box.

5. In the

On client

drop down list, select the client on which this

post-exec script will be executed and confirm with OK. This should be
the client that was marked for backup on the source page.

When

omnisrdupdate

command is executed as a post-exec utility, the

session ID is obtained automatically from the environment and the user
is not required to specify the session ID.

All other options can be specified the same way as with the standalone
utility (

-location

<

path

>,

-host

<

name

>).
