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