Installing Clients in DP6.0 for LINUX/HPUX

Hi Guys,
I had a great opportunity to work with a very well known backup solution HP OpenView Data Protector (version 5.5 and 6.0). Through this software we add new clients of which backup is required. Here I have posted a simple method to add a client in Cell Manager which is the controller of this software. Normally It can be done by GUI but most of the time GUI doesn't work in my case. So i used to do it from back end.

How to Add a client in LINUX/HP-UX in dataprotector 6.0
------------------------------------------------------------

1. First of all please collect the ISO or setup Binaries. Lets say I have the binary named dprotect.iso

2. Mount the iso as per below method

a) You must login as a root user, if not root user then switch to root user using following command:
 $ su -

 b) Create the directory i.e. mount point:
 # mkdir -p /mnt/disk

 c) Use mount command as follows to mount iso file called disk1.iso:
 # mount -o loop dprotect.iso /mnt/disk

 d) Change directory to list files stored inside an ISO image:
 # cd /mnt/disk
 # ls -l

3. cd /mnt/disk/LOCAL_INSTALL and run the command like below

./omnisetup.sh –server cellmanagername -install da,ma,oracle8

first please check cellmanagername and ip is okay or not through # nslookup cellmanagername

4. After completion of agent installation now open the GUI and add a client

5. Type the client name or ip and continue

6. It will then automatically update all components and your client is ready to be backed up!!!!!

7. to Check whether client is added to cellmanager and client is registered with DP6.0 cell manager you need to open a file in cell manager
# cat /etc/opt/omni/server/cell/cell_info
[here you can find the latest entry of client you just made earlier]
And finally you can open a file in your client machine to view the cell manager host name
# cat /etc/opt/omni/client/cell_server
[you will find the cellserver name here]

Oracle Job Operations

Sometimes the jobs got hault, needs to break etc etc. Here are some useful commands for this sort of operations. ## Job Owner Schema can do this execute dbms_job.remove(444); execute dbms_job.broken(444, true); ## If Sys User needs to remove the job exec SYS.DBMS_IJOB.REMOVE(444); ## to find which jobs are running SELECT a.sid, c.serial#, a.job, a.failures, to_char(a.this_date, 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi pm') startdatetime, b.what FROM dba_jobs_running a, dba_jobs b, v$session c WHERE a.job = b.job AND a.sid = c.sid order by a.this_date ##let say we have only sid and serial and we need to kill the process from both OS and database. So first we need to find out the SPID. this query for any RAC database select P.SPID ,S.SID ,S.SERIAL#, S.SCHEMANAME, S.PROGRAM, S.INST_ID, S.OSUSER, S.STATUS from gv$process p, gv$session s where P.ADDR=S.PADDR and S.SID=888 and s.serial#=9293; ## kill the job al...
