Recovering the IDB
Chapter 9420
You can use the IDB consistency check to determine which part of the
IDB is corrupted. Depending on the level of corruption, the IDB recovery
procedure differs.
Figure 9-11 IDB Corruption Levels
How to Identify the
Corruption Level
Identify the level of IDB corruption using the omnidbcheck -extended
command:
NOTE The extended check may take several hours. To avoid an extended period
of system downtime, you can run subparts of the omnidbcheck command
instead. For example, run the omnidbcheck -core to determine whether
the core part of the IDB is corrupted.
After identifying the level of corruption, perform the appropriate
recovery procedure. Refer to “Overview of IDB Recovery Methods” on
page 417.
