nnmresetembdb.ovpl — drop (delete) and recreate the embedded database, if NNMi is configured to run with the embedded database
Use nnmresetembdb.ovpl to drop (delete) and recreate
the NNMi embedded database. This command is useful only if you installed NNMi with the
embedded database option. You should use this command only if your database is corrupt, and
you are willing to lose all of your data; or, if you simply want to reset your database to
the state it was in after initial installation.
If NNMi is running when this command is executed, the command first stops NNMi (using
ovstop), then starts the nmsdbmgr process to work with the database (using ovstart). Unless the -nostart option
is present, NNMi restarts (using ovstart) upon successful
completion of the reset process.
When the database reset has completed, the embedded database has no tables or data in
it. The tables are recreated when you restart NNMi using the ovstart command, or when the nnmresetembdb.ovpl command automatically starts NNMi. You must be
logged in as root on UNIX systems, or as
administrator on Windows systems to run
this command.
The nnmresetembdb.ovpl command recognizes the following
parameters:
-silent
The nnmresetembdb.ovpl command does not
display the command results when you use the -silent option.
-nostart
The nnmresetembdb.ovpl command does not start
NNMi after the database reset when you use the -nostart option.
-?|-h|-help
Display command usage.
You can use this script to reset your database if you have a bad discovery or a corrupted database; or if you want to reset the database (including configuration items stored in the database) to the state the database was in after initial installation.
