omnirc variables
The omnirc options are useful for troubleshooting or overriding other settings affecting the
behavior of the Data Protector client only. However, use them only if your operating environment
demands it. The Disk Agents and Media Agents use the values of these options.
Note: Editing the
omnirc variables does not require restarting the Data Protector services for
most variables.
The omnirc variables can be set on each client in the file:
• UNIX systems: /usr/omni/.omnirc
• Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008: C:\Program Files\OmniBack\omnirc
• Other Windows systems:
C:\Program Data\OmniBack\omnirc
• Novell NetWare:
sys:\usr\omni\omnirc
To set omnirc options:
1. Depending on the platform, copy the template
omnirc.tmpl or .omnirc.TMPL to omnirc
or
.omnirc, respectively.
2. Edit the file
omnirc or .omnirc. Uncomment the line of the desired option by removing
the “#” mark, and set the desired value.
3. After setting the variables:
• When creating the
omnirc file (either by copying or by using an editor), verify its
permissions. On UNIX, permissions will be set according to your umask settings
and may be such that some processes may be unable to read the file. Set the
permissions to 644 manually.
• When changing the
omnirc file, restart the Data Protector services/daemons on
the Data Protector client where you modified the
omnirc file. This is mandatory
for the crs daemon on UNIX and recommended for Data Protector CRS and Inet
services on Windows. Specifically on Windows, restarting is not required when
adding or changing entries, only when removing entries (or renaming the file). A
restart is required when a variable affects the Data Protector services and
omnirc
is running on the cell server. The majority of
omnirc changes are made on the
Data Protector client side, so no restart is required.
Note: When using special characters in variable names in the omnirc file, take into account
operating system specific limitations regarding supported characters for setting environment
variables. For example, on UNIX systems, variables cannot contain any of the following
characters: Space Tab / : * " < > |.
