Moving the IDB to a Different Cell Manager

You can move the Internal Database to a different Cell Manager that runs on the same operating system.
Steps
1. Stop all Data Protector services on the source and target system using the omnisv -stop command located
in /opt/omni/sbin/ (on UNIX) and in <Data_Protector_home>\bin (on Windows).
If the IDB is installed on MC/ServiceGuard, run the cmhaltpkg <pkg_name> command on the active node to
stop the Data Protector package, where <pkg_name> is the name of the Data Protector cluster package.
If the IDB is installed on Microsoft Cluster Server, take the OBVS_VELOCIS cluster group offline using the
Cluster Administrator utility on the active node.
2. Copy the following IDB files to the target system:

Tablespaces to the same relative pathname:

On Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\db40\datafiles to <Data_Protector_home>\db40\datafiles

On UNIX: /var/opt/omni/server/db40/datafiles to /var/opt/omni/server/db40/datafiles

Extension files to the same full pathname as they were on the source system. You can get a list of the files
by using the omnidbutil -extendinfo command.

Session messages binary files to the same relative pathname:

On Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\db40\msg to <Data_Protector_home>\db40\msg

On UNIX: /var/opt/omni/server/db40/msg to /var/opt/omni/server/db40/msg

SIBF files to the same relative pathname:

On Windows: <Data_Protector_home>\db40\meta to <Data_Protector_home>\db40\meta

On UNIX: /var/opt/omni/server/db40/meta to /var/opt/omni/server/db40/meta

DC directories to the same or other locations. You can get the list of DC directories using the omnidbutil -info
command.
3. Start the Data Protector services on the target system using the omnisv -stop command located
in /opt/omni/sbin/ (on UNIX) and in <Data_Protector_home>\bin (on Windows).
If the IDB is installed on MC/ServiceGuard, run the cmrunpkg <pkg_name> command on the active node to
start the Data Protector package.
If the IDB is installed on Microsoft Cluster Server, bring the OBVS_VELOCIS and OBVS_MCRS cluster groups
online using the Cluster Administrator utility.
4. Run the omnidbutil -change_cell_name command.
5. Relocate DC directories on the target system.
6. Run the omnidbutil -remap_dcdir command for Data Protector to refresh the new locations of the DC directories.
