Specifies the session ID of the backup session with the backup object information
which an existing SRD file will be updated with. This option must be specified
when omnisrdupdate is run interactively, and must be omitted when
omnisrdupdate is run from a post-exec script. In the latter case, Data Protector
automatically obtains the required information from the current environment.
Updating the SRD file succeeds only when all critical backup objects (as specified
in the SRD file) were actually backed up during the specified session. To view
which objects are marked as critical for the SRD update, open the SRD file in a
text editor. All critical objects for the SRD update are listed under the -section
objects section. Note that the database is represented as "/".
-cell name
Specifies the Cell Manager to connect to in order to obtain the required
information about backup objects and the corresponding media from the IDB.
If this option is omitted, Data Protector automatically obtains the required
information from the current environment.
-host ClientName
Specifies the system for which the SRD file is to be updated.
If this option is omitted, Data Protector automatically obtains the required
information from the current environment.
-location path
Specifies the location where the updated SRD file is saved. A local directory or
a network share can be specified. To create several copies of the updated SRD
file on different locations, use multiple -location path argument pairs. It is
recommended that, in addition to the Cell Manager, the updated SRD file is
copied to several safe storage locations as a part of disaster recovery preparation
policy. For example, assuming that this storage location is considered safe, you
can copy the updated SRD file to the directory
Data_Protector_program_data\Config\Server\dr\srd (Windows
Server 2008), Data_Protector_home\Config\Server\dr\srd (other
Windows systems), or /etc/opt/omni/server/dr/srd/ (UNIX systems) on
the Cell Manager.
When omnisrdupdate is run from a pre-exec or post-exec script, this option
can be omitted. In this case, omnisrdupdate updates System Recovery Data
internally in the Data Protector session, but does not save it to any SRD file.
System Recovery Data updated in such a way can only be used for subsequent
processing within the same session.
If you are running the omnisrdupdate command in a pre-exec or post-exec
script, do not add a backslash at the end of the path.
