CDB location
The CDB is located in the following directory:
<Data_Protector_program_data>\db40\datafiles\cdb (Windows Server 2008),
<Data_Protector_home>\db40\datafiles\cdb (other Windows systems), or
/var/opt/omni/server/db40/datafiles/cdb (UNIX systems).
When adding an extension file, you can specify a different path.
Note:
You might consider redirecting the CDB portion of the IDB to a dedicated
and fast disk subsystem as this helps to maintain IDB performance in large
and/or busy backup environments.
Example: Extending other tablespaces
By default, the IDB Tablespace Space Low notification is triggered when 85% of the space allocated
for a specific tablespace is used. Perform the following steps to extend the specified tablespace.
Steps
1. Check if the tablespace is visible in the GUI.
i. In the Context List, click Internal Database.
ii. In the Scoping Pane, expand Usage and click Database Tablespace Extensions.
The names of the tablespaces are listed in the Results Area. If the tablespace that has run out of space
is listed, perform the remaining steps. Otherwise, contact technical support for further instructions.
2. Extend the tablespace.
i. In the Scoping Pane, right-click Database Tablespace Extensions and click Add Database
Tablespace Extension File.
ii. In the Type drop-down list, select the tablespace that has run out of space. Specify other
options as desired.
iii. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
