Restoring the Data Protector Cell Manager
Specifics
This section explains additional steps for particular methods that should
be performed when restoring Windows Cell Manager.
Making IDB consistent (all methods)
The procedure described in this section should only be used after you
have performed the general disaster recovery procedure.
To make the IDB consistent, you have to import the medium with the
last backup so that the information about the backed up objects is
imported to the database. In order to do so, you have to perform the
following steps:
1. Using the Data Protector GUI, recycle the medium or media with the
backup of the partitions that remain to be restored for enabling the
medium or media to be imported in the IDB. Refer to “Recycling
Media” on page 110 for more information on how to do this.
Sometimes it is not possible to recycle a medium since Data Protector
keeps it locked. In such a case stop Data Protector processes and
delete the \tmp directory by running the following commands:
<Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnisv -stop
del <Data_Protector_home>\tmp\*.*
<Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnisv -start
2. Using the Data Protector GUI, export the medium or media with the
backup of the partitions that remain to be restored. Refer to
“Exporting Media from Data Protector” on page 112 for more
information on how to do this.
3. Using the Data Protector GUI, import the medium or media with the
backup of the partitions that remain to be restored. Refer to
“Importing Media” on page 100 for more information on how to do
this.
