Obtain a license for and install JP1/OmniBack II. For details on licensing, see the materials included with the JP1/OmniBack II software.

After installing JP1/OmniBack II, execute the pdsetup command in each server machine. In this step, specify OmniBack in the -p option. If the pdsetup command has already been executed, first execute the pdsetup -d command, then execute the pdsetup command. For details on the pdsetup command, see the manual HiRDB Version 8 Command Reference. OmniBack must be specified in the -p option for all server machines comprising HiRDB.

For details about distributing the disk agent and media agent, see the manual for JP1/OmniBack II.

Register the HiRDB administrator as a JP1/OmniBack II user in the admin user class.

For details about creating a logical device, see the manual for JP1/OmniBack II.

Create the applicable directory listed below (directory for storing barlist files) in the server machine in which the cell manager of JP1/OmniBack II is located:

• HP-UX: /etc/opt/omni/barlists/stream

Set up the directory privileges, etc., as follows:

• User: root
• Group: sys
• Privilege: 0755

Create a barlist file in the directory created in Step (5). Set up the barlist file privilege, etc., as follows:

• User: root
• Group: sys
• Privilege: 0644

Up to 64 alphanumeric characters can be used for a barlist file name; the following is an example of creating a barlist file:

 
 BARLIST "barlist-file-name"                      1
 DEFAULTS
 {
 }
 DEVICE "logical-device-name"                     2
 {
 }
 CLIENT HiRDB host-name                           3
 {
   -public                                        4
 } -protect protection-specification              5
 

Explanation

1. Specifies a name for the barlist file.
   Example:
   BARLIST "DLT01FILE"
   
2. Specifies the name of the logical device.
   Example:
   DEVICE "DLT01"
   
3. Specifies the name of the host where the disk agent is located.
   Example:
   CLIENT HiRDB host01
   
4. This is required.
5. Specifies the object protection type; no protection, specified duration, until a specified date, or permanent protection can be specified.
   Example:
   -protect: none
   

• none: No protection
• days n: Specify for n a protection duration in terms of number of days.
• weeks n: Specify for n a protection duration in terms of number of weeks.
• until Date: Specify for date the date on which protection is to expire (use the format YYYY/MM/DD).
• permanent: Specify for permanent protection.

About object protection specification

When object protection is specified, the medium cannot be reused until protection for all objects on the medium has been released. Because this fact should be taken into consideration when protection is specified, the following guidelines for specifying protection are provided:

Guidelines

• If the medium is to be overwritten each time, specify there be no protection (none). In this case, only one object can be stored on the medium.
• When protection is specified, multiple objects can be stored on the same medium. In this case, store objects with approximately the same protection expiration dates. This makes it possible for the medium to be reused efficiently, because protection of all objects on the medium will expire at about the same time.
