The IDB on the UNIX Cell Manager
IDB location
The IDB on the UNIX Cell Manager is located in the /var/opt/omni/server/db40
directory.
IDB format
The IDB on the HP-UX and Solaris Cell Manager stores all text information in ASCII
single- and multi-byte formats.
The ASCII format limits the support of filenames and messages localized to other
languages. When backing up files with filenames in a double-byte format, such as
UNICODE, the filenames are converted to the ASCII format and may not appear
correctly in the Data Protector user interface. However, the files and filenames will
be restored correctly.

The IDB in the Manager-of-Managers environment
In the Manager-of-Managers (MoM) environment, you can use the Centralized Media
Management Database (CMMDB), which allows you to share devices and media
across several cells. For more information on the MoM functionality, see “
IDB architecture
The IDB consists of the following parts:
•
MMDB (Media Management Database)
•
CDB (Catalog Database), divided into two parts: filenames and other CDB records
•
DCBF (Detail Catalog Binary Files)
•
SMBF (Session Messages Binary Files)
•
SIBF (Serverless Integrations Binary Files for the NDMP integration)
Each of the IDB parts stores certain specific Data Protector information (records),
influences IDB size and growth in different ways, and is located in a separate directory
on the Cell Manager. See
