Accidental odmdelete

[Sudmill]

Hi,

I was attempting to redirect the errpt to the syslog, and was deleting an entry from the ODM when I ran the following truncated command;

odmdelete -o errnotify

This has deleted 47 objects, when I only expected it to delete 2, so obviously some other vitals ones have now gone. We have a backup from this morning, so my question is how do we restore either the whole ODM or preferably just the errnotify entries from our filesystem backup?


Im feeling a bit of a fool, so any help would be appreciated !



Cheers

Just found out that performing the following command might solve it;

restore -xvqf /dev/rmt0 /etc/objrepos/errnotify

This will restore over the top of the now smaller errnotify file. It remains to be seen if there is any kind of keying or ID fields that will get out of sync as a result (not sure how ODB works). I expect the reboot scheduled for tomorrow will tell me the answer !

Cheers
