DESCRIPTION
The omnib command uses a backup specification to back up data objects. The
following Application Recovery Manager functionality is supported:
Session management
Controls the backup sessions. The Session Manager reads the backup specification
or uses the command options to determine what to back up, then initiates the ZDB
Agents for disks which will be used in the session. Once the session has completed,
the Session Manager updates the IDB with the session information.
Backup monitoring
When the backup command is executed, it sends a request (specifying the backup
objects) to the Session Manager. When the Session Manager (SM) accepts the
request, it assigns a unique SessionID to the session. You can use this SessionID to
monitor the progress of the session using the omnistat command. You can also use
the omniabort command to terminate a session.
