Hi all

Does any one know what the below omniback process is doing

/opt/omni/lbin/rds -d

Thanks in advance

It's a database maintenance thing, I think.

Its one of the OmniBack processes. You don't want to kill it.

[steven Burgess_2]

Hmm

stm reports that it is spinning -

root 1371 1 0 May 5 ? 78:44 /opt/omni/lbin/rds -d

Is there any way to stop and start it ?

to reduce load you may look at renice , or when in Omniback there is a database purge and you want to run something else you may cancel the purge and schedule it foe sometime alter.

/sbin/init.d/omni stop
/sbin/init.d/omni start
should do it.

Hi Steven(again):

I think you need to shutdown and start Omniback then:

# /opt/omni/sbin/omnisv.sh stop

# /opt/omni/sbin/omnisv.sh start

Hi Steven,

Along with xomni, mmd & crs - rds is one of the core Omniback daemon processes.
Don't know *exactly* what it's doing - just know it has to be running for Omniback to work.

See the following thread:

You can stop and restart Omniback..
1.Check and make sure no backups are running.

Stop:
/opt/omni/sbin/omnisv.sh stop

Start:
/opt/omni/sbin/omnisv.sh start

Then I ALWAYS run:
/opt/omni/sbin/omnidbutil -clear
(to clear off anything hanging in OBII)

Check Status:
/opt/omni/sbin/omnisv.sh status

As was mentioned there are certain processes that are up and running all the time..
/opt/omni/lbin/mmd
/opt/omni/lbin/crs
/opt/omni/lbin/rds -d

Rgrds,
Rita

** Note on OBII ver 4 you change omnisv.sh to just omnisv *
