corresponding media must be added to the SRD. The SRD can be
updated only on a Windows client. The name of the updated SRD file is
recovery.srd.
How to Update
SRD?
There are three different methods possible for updating the SRD file:
• Update SRD File Wizard
• omnisrdupdate command as a standalone utility
• omnisrdupdate command as a backup session post-exec script
Using SRD Update
Wizard
To update the SRD file using the Update SRD File Wizard:, proceed as
follows:
1. In the Data Protector Manager switch to the Restore context and
then click the Tasks Navigation tab.
2. In the Scoping Pane of the Tasks Navigation tab, check the
Disaster Recovery.
3. In the Results Area, check the SRD File Update option button,
select the client and click Next.
4. For each of the critical objects, select an object version and click Next.
5. Type the destination directory where the updated SRD file is to be
placed and click Finish.
IMPORTANT Because the SRD file is saved on the Cell Manager system, it is not
accessible if the Cell Manager fails. As a result, you need an additional
copy of the Cell Manager’s SRD which should be stored in a vault.
In addition to the Cell Manager, you should save the updated SRD file to
several secure locations as a part of the disaster recovery preparation
policy. See “Preparation” on page 451.
Using
omnisrdupdate
It is also possible to update the SRD file using the omnisrdupdate
command as a standalone command. The omnisrdupdate command is
located in the <Data_Protector_home>\bin directory.
