DESCRIPTION
The following tasks can be performed using the omnidbxp command:
QUERYING THE INFORMATION ON BACKUP OBJECTS AND MANIPULATING
THE LDEV EXCLUDE FILE
The omnidbxp command can be used to query the information stored in the ZDB
database (XPDB), which stores the information about the LDEVs pairs and their mirror
configurations during the Application Recovery Manager HP StorageWorks Disk
Array XP backup and restore sessions. The XPDB is a set of ASCII files stored on the
Cell Manager in the /var/opt/omni/server/db40/xpdb (UNIX Cell Manager)
or in the AppRM_home\db40\xpdb (Windows Cell Manager) directory. The XPDB
contains data about the split P-VOL - S-VOL pairs used with the Application Recovery
Manager HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP integration in a set of XPDB records. The
XPDB is written to whenever a pair is split using the Application Recovery Manager
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP integration. A pair is deleted from the XPDB whenever
such a pair is resynchronized using the Application Recovery Manager HP
StorageWorks Disk Array XP integration.
The omnidbxp command can also be used to manipulate the XP LDEV exclude file.
The XP LDEV exclude file enables disabling of using certain LDEVs on the backup
system (S-VOL LDEVs) by Application Recovery Manager. Thus, it is possible to reserve
certain LDEVs for other purposes than Application Recovery Manager backup and
restore. The disabled LDEVs are, if used in a Application Recovery Manager session,
