EVA_HOSTNAMEALIASES to define the backup system object name.

Additionally, set the variable EVA_HOSTNAMEALIASES to the appropriate host object

For more information on the variable, see “ZDB omnirc variables” on page 106.
Maintaining the integration
Maintenance tasks are divided into the following categories:
• Querying information. See “Querying SMISDB” on page 26.
• Checking consistency. See “Checking SMISDB for consistency” on page 26.
• Deleting backup sessions. See “Purging SMISDB” on page 27 and
“Deleting replicas on the disk array and SMISDB Entries” on page 27.
• Excluding and including backup sessions. See
“Excluding or including sessions from use” on page 27
Querying SMISDB
Using the omnidbsmis command, you can list:
• All available backup sessions
• All backup sessions based on a specific backup specification
• All backup sessions that are excluded from the replica set rotation
• Obsolete volumes marked for purging
• Disk group redirection configuration
• Sets of retained source volumes, kept for forensic purposes after instant recovery
• Details on a specific successful backup session and a report about all backup
sessions based on a specific backup specification.
See the omnidbsmis man page for command syntax and examples.
