Thanks to Thomas V. Myers:
Disable the cell manager for now: `/sbin/init.d/omni stop`. This only
disables the cell manager, things like software distribution, backup and
other stuff initiated from an other instance are started from inetd.
Disable the cell manager after future reboots: `/usr/sbin/ch_rc -a -p
'OMNI=0'`. This prevents the cellmanager to be started from
`/sbin/init.d/omni start`. And I found out, it also prevents the cellmanager
to be stopped with `/sbin/init.d/omni stop` so the order is important here.
Next remove the current cell setting: `mv /etc/opt/omni/cell/cell_server
/etc/opt/omni/cell/cell_server.prev`
Now the machine can be added to an other cell. For this it is (unfortunate)
required to install software like device or media agent but only one is
required. The cell will recognize already installed software so there is no
need to install all.
btw: I tested the above by doing so. I will see next monday if the resulting
situation realy is capable of making backups (and restores). If problems
arize, I will update this summary.
Most other responces where kind of like remove the cellmanagers software.
Unfortunatly, from the media I have, I cannot 'just remove the cellmanager',
It removes all omniback software from the system, leaving me with a chicken
and egg problem for not having a machine that distributes the software.
Some other responces where to install the 'Manager of Cell Managers'.
Licensing prevents me from doing this. An other problem would be that only
the HP-UX machine with the obsolete cellmanager was avaliable to do so,
hence leaving me an other challence.

Subject: [HPADM] OmniBack: from 2 to 1 cellmanager.
HP-OmniBackup: how to move from 2 cellmanagers to 1 cellmanager.
We started OmniBackup to backup our M$Windows machines. This M$Windows based
cellmanager is hooked to a tape robot (24 SuperDLT tapes in 2 racks: roughly
24 * 320 GByte). That leaves room to backup the unix (linux, sco and HP-UX)
machines too.
SO I installed the unix software to a HP-UX box to distribute the unix
software from there. I also made this machine a cellmanager to be able to
test/try settings while the other cellmanager is operational.
Currently I've moved several unix boxes to backup to the M$Windows based
cellmanager, all operational. Unfortunatly, In the M$Windows based
cellmanager, I cannot create the client for the HP-UX box that hosts the
test-cellmanager. How do I do this?
I know I can uninstall the cellmanager but that also removes the software
distributor for the unix software so I cannot re-install it from the
M$Windows based cellmanager. (The M$Windows based cellmanager cannot
distribute unix softare)
Should I hack my way around in the settins of both cellmanagers?
Can I disable/uninstall the HP-UX based cellmanager?
WHo has an IDEA?
