SYNOPSIS
omnidbinit -version | -help
omnidbinit [-force]
DESCRIPTION
The omnidbinit command initializes the Data Protector internal database (IDB).
All information about sessions, media and objects is lost after the initialization. The
command does not delete IDB transaction logs. The command creates a gap in the
sequence of IDB transaction logs; when a roll forward operation is performed using
the omnidbrestore command, the operation applies only the transaction logs
created before the initialization of the IDB.
The IDB directory structure has to exist in order to initialize the IDB successfully. You
can re-create the IDB directory structure by copying it from the directory
Data_Protector_program_data\NewConfig\ (Windows Server 2008),
Data_Protector_home\NewConfig\ (other Windows systems), or
/opt/omni/newconfig/ (HP-UX or Solaris system) on the Cell Manager.
