Omniback 4.1 Oracle integration not configured after upgrade to HPUX 11i with ServiceGuard

[Vincent Farrugia]

Hello,

We had a system having an Omniback package on a 2-node ServiceGuard cluster on HPUX 11. We upgraded 1 node to 11i successfully using the Mission Critical June 2004 CDs. Unfortunately, though, when we checked configured software:

swlist -a state -l fileset | grep -v -e configured -e ^#

the Omniback Oracle integration is coming up as installed, not configured. We tried to configure it manually by swconfigure, but errors occurred and were unsuccessful. The package of Omniback is on the other node at the moment (following the upgrade).

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance!
Vince

Hello Vincent,
you should reinstall Omniback and Omniback Oracle integration. I recommend to upgrade Omniback to version Storage Data Protector 5.1 (new name to Omniback). You need only new media, codewords are the same.

Is this an issue with Omniback though? I thought that Omniback should work fine on both HPUX 11 and 11i. Didn't think this problem should occur after upgrade. Any more insight please on why this happened?

Vincent Farrugia,
Yes, Data protector 4.1 run as well in HP-UX11.0 and HP-UX 11.i.
My Cell manager is now running in HP-UX 11.i platform.
Just has an idea: You should up to date the patch file.
And it seems stupid but did you install Omniback II in the physical address?

Best and regard,
Jimkery

Hello,

We noticed that the state of the Omniback Oracle integration package was not configured even before upgrading (i.e. HPUX 11.00). This means that it is by design to be like this, so nothing changed with the upgrade.

Case closed.
