Error
Upgrade to DP 10.x on linux system has following issue:
Note: No Data Protector A.10.80 Internal Database found. Initializing...
Configuring and starting up Internal Database
ERROR: Unable to start IDB (Return code = 1)
For more detail please refer to /var/opt/omni/server/log/DPIDBsetup_PID.log
Cause
By some means, the file /etc/opt/omni/server/idb/version.txt is missing:
++ echo 'Version.txt file not exist - initialize database!'
Version.txt file not exist - initialize database!
++ echo 'NOTE: No Data Protector A.10.80 Internal Database found. Initializing...'
++ echo 'No Data Protector A.10.80 Internal Database found.'
No Data Protector A.10.80 Internal Database found.
++ createDBconfFiles
Hence DP could not identify what is current DP version and then goes on wrong track.
Fix
- Create the file /etc/opt/omni/server/idb/version.txt with below content:
HP OpenView OmniBack II A.09.00
- Start upgrade again
