Hello,
I upgraded a Data Protector Cell Manager from 7 to 9 using this https://www.data-protector.org/wordpress/2016/07/runbook-migrate-data-protector-7-0x-data-protector-9-0x/ , everything went smoothly but after performing perl omnimigrate.pl -start_catalog_migration i got an error from one medium out of 487 saying:
Migrating catalog of the medium 7f808e0a:4ed6c47b:1068:0007 (382 of 487).
Warning: Can not upgrade catalog of medium 7f808e0a:4dcce42b:1a3c:0007..
Migrating catalog of the medium 7f808e0a:4ed6c47b:1068:0008 (383 of 487).

Hello,
we are running following scenario:
We have a Millions of Pictures that are used on an Software process. On Sunday a Fullbackup, from Monday to Friday Incr1. I was wondering why the incr1 Backup on Thursday and Friday were so big, then i realised, that the incr1 Backup, was backing up files, that have not been changed, but where accessed/opened. Is there any solution to change this and keep the incr1 Backup low?
Greetings David

Dear all,
I've instaled a new Cell Manager (HP Data Protector v.9.0) in a CentOS machine.
As I know, all seems to be fine:
[root@BCKCENTOS01 lbin]# omnisv status
ProcName Status [PID]
===============================
crs : Active [3592]
mmd : Active [3590]
kms : Active [3591]
hpdp-idb : Active [3560]
hpdp-idb-cp : Active [3584]
hpdp-as : Active [3623]
omnitrig : Active
Sending of traps disabled.
===============================
Status: All Data Protector processes/services up and running.
Asking about CRS:
[root@BCKCENTOS01 lbin]# crs
********************** DEFAULT ERROR REPORT *******************************
[Critical] From: CRS@bckcentos01 "" Time: 11/29/2016 12:41:07 PM
CRS is already running.
File /var/opt/omni/tmp/CRS.pid contains its process ID.
*****************************************************************************
It seems that is running too. So.... I guess that all in working fine in the server.
Now I'm trying to install GUI System in my Windows 10 machine.
I've installed Installation Server (for Windows) and GUI.
When I try to connect HP Data Protector Manager (GUI), I receive the following error:
Connection to CRS failed.
To start the Data Protector daemons on the Cell Manager host use the command
omnisv -start on the Cell Manager
or check if the communication between the Cell Manager and client is encrypted with the command
omnicc -encryption -status -all on the Cell Manager.
As you read before Data Protector Cell is running.
And the answer for: omnicc -encryption -status -all is:
[root@BCKCENTOS01 lbin]# omnicc -encryption -status -all
Client Enabled Enabled(CM)
bckcentos01 true true
[root@BCKCENTOS01 lbin]#
I can reach each machine with ping (server and my computer with GUI).
I guess that GUI download a ssl certificate, but not sure where it is stored. Or how can I find and delete it.
I was searching during last days, but nothing usefull for me.
Could you please help me?
Many thanks in advance,
Hi Experts,
Please help with an issue with an old HP DP6.
On my single cell manager i have a lot of sessions back until 2010, and it seems that the CDB is almost full.
I added an extension file (fnnames.dat1) to the CDB, but the session usage pie chart is almost red, it seems i have only 6848 session record space, and from this space i have only 322 record free.
I tried to purge sessions older than 1 year with command omnidbutil -purge -sessions 365 but the session usage remains the same.
My question is, will my cell stop if the number of my session records reach 6848 or it will be extended further?
Thank You in advance,
Tamas

I have a cell 6,20 on Windows, the client is a HP-UX B.11.11 U
On customized Cell Managers where "/etc/opt/omni” is a symbolic link like this:
# ls -ld /etc/opt/omni
/etc/opt/omni -> /etc_opt_omni/
Uninstallation of CS_Patch, which is started during upgrade to DP 9.00, can cause this link to be broken:
To prevent this link from being broken during the patches uninstallation we should run this command before attempting the upgrade:
rpm -e --justdb `rpm -qg Data-Protector | grep Patch`
The above will just remove the patches from the RPM DB without physically uninstalling the binaries, to avoid breaking the links.
So the patches are already safely removed when the upgrade is started.
NOTE:
This is an unexpected setup, because on supported Service Guard clusters the symbolic link points to /etc/opt/omni/server directory instead of /etc/opt/omni:
# ls -ld /etc/opt/omni/server
/etc/opt/omni/server -> /DPSHARE/etc_opt_omni_server
Uninstallation of CS_Patch during the upgrade to DP 9.00 on such supported clusters doesn’t break this link indeed:
/etc/opt/omni/server -> /DPSHARE/etc_opt_omni_server.
Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I'm still alive and kicking. Read about a VMware GRE problem we got sorted this week. The info may come in handy in the future.

Hello everyone.We're using HP DP 9,00 version.We added the client,but the HANA integration is not visible.
Please help if you had met the problem like this
Regards
Environment:
DP 9.07, also seen with 9.04
VMware ESXi 6.0.0 4510822
vCenter Server 6.0.0 build 3018524
Every now and then the backup for my different jobs fails with the error None of the Disk Agents completed successfully. Session has failed
I can't seem to figure out what's going wrong.
The only thing I know, I have other backup jobs where I backup vm's from other vcenter servers 5.5 and 5.1 and there I have no issues.
It's seem related to this vcenter 6.0.0

The problem stems from issues with reverse DNS lookups. One thing that might help is to set the following omnirc variables
on the cell manager:
OB2_IPC_DNSRETRYCOUNT=1
OB2_IPC_DNSRETRYTIME=200
There are also some improvements to the reverse lookup algorithms in Data Protector 9.08

I connected my storeonce to fiber channel and zoned it to my 2008 R2 Server. San Surfer shows two devices, both of which are the WWN of the Storeonce FC ports.
I rebooted and it still doesnt detect the store once FC ports as a single device (MPIO). Is there a DSM I need to install?
Hi Team,
We are currently using hp data protector version 6.11 & want to restore the catalog of this version in hp data protector version 9.x for the data restoration purpose. So I just want to know, technically will it work or is there any complications to do this. Kindly guide me. Thanks in advance.
[Problem]
/var/opt/omni/tmp/AppServer/vfs directory is steadily growing and that will eventually lead to out of disk space problems.
[Cause]
It's a bug of JBOSS 7.1.1 that DP8.1x and DP9.0x use .
[Workaround / Fix]
A change request has been submitted to consider the issue in future releases .
As a workaround , vfs directory can be removed while DP services stop safely .
ex.)
/var/opt/omni/tmp/AppServer #omnisv stop
HPE Data Protector services successfully stopped.
/var/opt/omni/tmp/AppServer #ls
auth vfs work
/var/opt/omni/tmp/AppServer #mv vfs vfs_back
/var/opt/omni/tmp/AppServer #omnisv start
HPE Data Protector services successfully started.
/var/opt/omni/tmp/AppServer #ls
auth vfs vfs_back work
/var/opt/omni/tmp/AppServer #ll vfs

Hi,
Been having a nightmare with licensing. Can anyone help on how to get my 9.x licence (we have a valid SAID):
I have my orig. DP 6.11 certificates but having trouble getting HP to link me to the correct 9.x certificates.
I have been given "OneDrive" 9.x to replace my 6.11 licences:
Cell Mgr. for Win/Linux (1)
Direct attached tape drive for Win/Netware/Linux(1)
Tape drive for SAN / all platforms (1)
This doesn't seem right as I am now unable to run any scheduled backups as the 9.00 server is asking for a Cell Mgr. licence!
Any idea where the link to 9.<latest> is too please?
Hi Champs,
We are facing this problem after moving my old IDB to new server with same OS and patch level. This restoration and upgradation start with old IDB tape backup. after successful upgradation not able to open any IDB parttition. Always given error 12:1121 cannot open internal database.
somebody is running omnidbcheck or omnidbutil command!
I have found this file at this location which is showing some activity is running "HPDPdir\omniback\log\server\Check_core"
One of the file found in TMP folder called "dbcheck.mmdb" try to remove it but after some time it appear automatically.
Please help us to start our backup server which completely doown state.
DP version is 7.03
OS windows server 2008R2 standard edition.
Thanks in advance
just need to clarify.... I have a physical DP cell manager running 9.06 and I want to move this to a new Virtual machine.
I'm assuming this process....
seems like a plan....
