reinitialize ingres database for Arcserve for Linux
A couple of customers of mine have Arcserve for Linux to backup there OES2 machine.
With Arcserve for Netware, if you had a problem with the database. Arcserve provided a empty database on the installation CD (You can question your self that if a vendor provides a empty database for recovery, how stable is that database?). But with Arcserver for Linux you cannot delete some files and copy the empty database any more. You have to uninstall Arcserver en reinitialize the database.
Here is how:
- Go to opt/CA/ingresii and execute ./uninstall_ingres -a
- Verify that all the ingres RPM’s are uninstalled by doing rpm –qa | grep CA-ing*
- Remove /opt/CA/ingresii folder
- cd to the $BAB_HOME/bin and start ./cadbase_setup
- Run the setup for a new database
If you have a 64bit installation for Arcserve you can find the unistall_ingres on the installation CD.
