you can disable the local MMDB on the remote Cell Manager by removing (and
possibly copying to a safe place) the directory
Data_Protector_program_data\db40\datafiles\mmdb (Windows
Server 2008), Data_Protector_home\db40\datafiles\mmdb (other
Windows systems), or /var/opt/omni/server/db40/datafiles/mmdb
(UNIX systems). All duplicated items (stores, media pools, devices) will have
"_N" appended to their name, where N represents the number of the duplicate
(starting with 1). Note that once the database is merged you will not be able to
revert the operation.
-cdbsync Cell_Server_Hostname
Synchronizes the MMDB and the CDB on the specified Cell Manager. The MMDB
and CDB may be out of sync when: 1) The MMDB and CDB contain information
from different periods in time. This may be the result of the importing (the
-readdb option) the CDB and the MMDB from files that were the result of
separate export (the -writedb option) sessions. 2) In a MoM environment,
when the local CDB and centralized MMDB are out of sync. This may be the
result of the centralized IDB restore.
The command must be executed on the system with the MMDB (one Cell Manager
in the cell) or with the centralized MMDB (MoM environment) installed.
In a MoM environment, if the centralized MMDB was changed (as a result of
IDB restore or import), the command should be run for each Cell Manager in
this MoM cell by specifying each Cell Manager in the cell as the
Cell_Server_hostname argument.
-purge{-filenames [host_1 [host_n...]] [-force] | -sessions
[NumberOfDays] | -days [NumberOfDays] | -messages
[NumberOfDays] | -dcbf | -mpos | -daily}
This option allows you to remove obsolete file names, backup, restore, and media
management sessions, session messages, and obsolete DCBF files from the IDB.
The -filenames option removes all obsolete file names (file names without any
file versions) for a specific or all clients from the CDB. This option requires
exclusive access to the database. Data Protector does not start the process for
removing obsolete file names if the number of obsolete file names does not exceed
a specific threshold. When starting removal for the whole cell, use the -force
option to enable the removal in cases when there are fewer than 5000000
obsolete file names in the IDB. When starting removal for the specified clients,
use the -force option to enable the removal also for clients which have fewer
than 1000000 obsolete file names in the IDB.
The -sessions option removes media management sessions, restore sessions,
and obsolete backup sessions (backup sessions without backed up data) older
than NumberOfDays.
