HP Data Protector Software Cell Manager Failover Process (standby Cell Manager)

4
The following routines require system administrator/root privileges.
1. Install Data Protector software accepting all defaults with the exception shown in Figure 2.
Change the destination folder from C:\Program Files\Omniback\
to
D:\Program Files\Omniback\ to match the configuration of the production Cell Manager.
Figure 2.
If program folders do not match after the installation, you may see “IDB corruption” error messages
after the replicated configuration files are being used on the standby Cell Manager. On HP-UX the
standard installation routine
/mountpoint/LOCAL_INSTALL omnisetup.sh -CM –IS
found on the installation DVD has been used.
Note
The MMDB and CDB, parts of the IDB, are implemented using an
embedded database consisting of table spaces. The DCBF, SMBF, and SIBF
parts of the IDB consist of binary files. Updates are direct (no transactions).
The location of the DCBF, SMBF, and SIBF files can be on any
drive/directory of the Cell Manager host, even on remote systems. If DCBF,
SMBF, and/or SIBF are not located in the standard
<Data_Protector_home>\db40\ directory, a more thorough planning of
this standby implementation in terms of the complexity of the restore of IDB
files is required.
This white paper assumes that the standard <Data_Protector_home>\db40\ directory is being used.
