omnib (1)

NAME

omnib – backs up filesystems and VSS writers.

SYNOPSIS

omnib -version | -help

omnib -msvssw_list ListName [-barmode VSSMode] [LIST_OPTIONS]

omnib -restart SessionID

LIST_OPTIONS

-barcmnd Command

-no_monitor

OTHER OPTIONS

VSSMode = full | copy

omnib (1)

DESCRIPTION

The omnib command uses a backup specification to back up data objects. The following Application Recovery Manager functionality is supported:

Session management

Controls the backup sessions. The Session Manager reads the backup specification
or uses the command options to determine what to back up, then initiates the ZDB
Agents for disks which will be used in the session. Once the session has completed,
the Session Manager updates the IDB with the session information.

Backup monitoring

When the backup command is executed, it sends a request (specifying the backup
objects) to the Session Manager. When the Session Manager (SM) accepts the
request, it assigns a unique SessionID to the session. You can use this SessionID to
monitor the progress of the session using the omnistat command. You can also use
the omniabort command to terminate a session.

OPTIONS

-version Displays the version of the omnib command

-15-Hewlett-Packard Company AppRM A.06.00: December 2007

omnib (1)

-help Displays the usage synopsis for the omnib command

-restart SessionID Tries to restart a failed session, specified by its sessionID.

-msvssw_list ListName Specifies the name of the MS VSS backup specification

file for the backup. The MS VSS backup specification contains the
MS VSS objects to be backed up.

LIST OPTIONS

-barcmnd Command Specifies the command that will be used instead of the
command specified with exec option in the backup specification.

-barmode VSSMode The available backup modes for VSS Writer objects depend on
the writer: some writers support several modes (for example full
and copy with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 writer), others
may support only full. See the HP StorageWorks Application
Recovery Administrator’s Guide.

-no_monitor By default, the command monitors the session and displays the
status of the session during the session. If this option is used, only
the SessionKey is displayed, and the command is disconnected
from the session.

RETURN VALUES

See the man page omniintro for return values.
Additional return values of the omnib command are:
10 There was an error while backing up some components. All agents

completed successfully.

11 One or more agents failed, or there was a database error.
12 None of the agents completed the operation; session was aborted by

Application Recovery Manager.

13 Session was aborted by user.

EXAMPLES

The following example illustrates how to start a copy backup using an existing VSS
backup specification called “test”.

omnib -msvssw_list test -barmode copy

omnicc -unsecure_client ClientName

omnicc -install_license password

omnicc -password_info

omnicc -check_licenses [-detail]

omnicc [-query]

DESCRIPTION

The omnicc command is used for licensing, importing, and exporting clients, and for managing secured clients.

OPTIONS

-version Displays the version of the omnicc command.

-help Displays the usage synopsis for the omnicc command.

-check_licenses [-detail] Reports licensing related information from the cell.

-18- Hewlett-Packard CompanyAppRM A.06.00: December 2007

omnicc (1)

If the -detail option is not specified, the command returns
information on whether the Application Recovery Manager
licensing is covered or not.

If the -detail option is specified, a detailed report is produced.
The following information is returned for every license in the cell:
license name, licenses installed, licenses used and licenses
required.

-query Displays information about the number of available licenses.

-import_host ClientName [-virtual] Imports the specified client into a cell.

This allows you to move a client between two cells without
reinstalling the Application Recovery Manager modules.

When you import the next one among multiple network names
(clusters), use the -virtual option. This way you keep Application
Recovery Manager from assigning licenses to all the network
names of the same system.

-import_is ClientName Imports an already installed Installation Server into
the cell.

-update_host ClientName Updates the version information and installed
packages information in the Cell Manager configuration file for the
specified client. Useful when automatic update fails due to any
reason.

-update_all [-force_cs] Updates the version information and installed
packages information in the Cell Manager configuration file for all
clients in the cell. Useful when automatic update fails due to any
reason.

If the -force_cs option is specified, it checks if the clients belong
to the current cell. If not, the command will change the cell to the
current cell.

-export_host ClientName Exports the specified client from the cell. This
enables you to remove a client from the cell without uninstalling
its Application Recovery Manager modules.

-list_authorities ClientName Lists systems from which the specified client
accepts requests on the Application Recovery Manager port (by
default 5555).

-secure_client ClientName Specifies the client to be secured.

-19-Hewlett-Packard Company AppRM A.06.00: December 2007

omnicc (1)

-authorities ClientName [ClientName2...] Specifies systems from which
the specified client accepts requests on the Application Recovery
Manager port (by default 5555). Consequently, other computers
will not be able to access this client. For tasks like backup and
restore, starting pre- or post-execution scripts, or importing and
exporting clients, the client checks whether the computer which
triggers one of these tasks via the Application Recovery Manager
port is allowed to do so. This security mechanism instructs the
client to accept such actions only from the systems specified by this
option.

-unsecure_client ClientName Specifies the client from which you want to
remove security. Such a client will enable access to all systems in
the cell.

-install_license password Installs an encrypted Application Recovery
Manager license. The password must be formatted as a single line
and must not contain any embedded carriage returns. The
password must be in quotes. If the password includes also a
description in quotes, the quotes in this description must be
preceded with backslashes.

-password_info Displays information about installed license passwords.

EXAMPLES

To install the zero downtime backup EVA 10TB license key "4TRV E9ES LW3U
YST7 KQZ3 G5NK ABA7 MQDB "EVA 10TB"", where "EVA 10TB" is description,
run:

omnicc -install_licence "4TRV E9ES LW3U YST7 KQZ3 G5NK ABA7 MQDB \"EVA
10TB\""

Note that the whole command should be provided without a carriage return.

omniclus (1)

omniclus (1)

NAME

omniclus – helps to manage load balancing in the cluster environment in case of an
application (Application Recovery Manager or other) failover

SYNOPSIS

omniclus -version | -help

omniclus -clus cluster_name -session {* | backup_specification}

-abortsess [-abortid {== | !=} application_id]

omniclus -clus cluster_name -inhibit {* | 0 | minutes}

omniclus -clus cluster_name -session {* | backup_specification}

The -noclus option can be specified directly after -clus to prevent loading of the
cluster dynamic library

DESCRIPTION

The omniclus command allows the user to send the Application Recovery Manager Cell Manager special events that in some way control the behavior of the Cell Manager and the backup sessions in a cluster environment. omniclus allows balance loading by offering additional (CLI) control of the Cell Manager in the cluster environment:

• abort sessions

• temporarily disabling the Cell Manager for backups

Note: that the cluster_name specified with the -clus switch must be a cluster­aware Application Recovery Manager Cell Manager.

OPTIONS

-version Displays the version of the omnidb command

-help Displays the usage synopsis for the omniclus command.

-clus cluster_name Specifies the cluster-aware Cell Manager.

-session * | backup_specification Specifies the session(s) to which the

abort message should be sent.

-24- Hewlett-Packard CompanyAppRM A.06.00: December 2007

-abortsess Specifies the abort session command.

-abortid {== | !=} application_id Specifies the application identification.

-inhibit {* | 0 | minutes} Specifies the number of minutes for Cell Manager

NOTE

The command can only be used in the cluster environment.

EXAMPLES

Following example illustrates how the omniclus command works.

1. Abort all running sessions

omniclus -clus cluster.domain.com -session * -abortsess

The utility will connect to all running sessions and will send them abort
messages. The state of the sessions can be then checked with the Application
Recovery Manager omnistat utility.

omniclus (1)

backup inactivity, where * means forever and 0 means activate
now.

2. Abort specific running sessions

omniclus -clus cluster.domain.com -session mybackup -abortsess

The utility will connect to backup session managers issuing abort messages and
sending them additional information - the backup specification name. Each
backup session manager checks whether the command addresses it and if this is
the case it aborts.

3. Abort sessions (all or specific) with application identifications

omniclus -clus obvs.hermes.com -session * -abortsess -abortid != 10

This way the user can define groups of sessions and abort only the ones that are
actually related to the application that failed over. For example a backup session
that performs a normal filesystem backup of a remote client is not aborted
because an application server switches, while the application server backup can
be aborted.

4. Temporarily disabling the Application Recovery Manager cell
The following command will inhibit backup sessions for twenty minutes:
