HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.3.1-00 Installation and Configuration Guide

1. Log on to the management server as a user with administrator or root permissions.
2. Execute the hcmdsbackups command to back up the database.
For Windows:
Common-Component-installation-folder\bin\hcmdsbackups /dir folder-for-
storing-backup-files /auto
For Linux:
Common-Component-installation-directory/bin/hcmdsbackups -dir directory-
for-storing-backup-files -auto
NOTE:
The dir option is used to specify the absolute path of the folder or directory on the local disk
where the database backup files are stored. Verify that the folder or directory specified does not
already include any files or subdirectories. (For Linux, do not specify a path that includes a
space.)
The auto option automatically changes the status of the Command View AE Suite product
services and the HiRDB service on the same system to active, so the database can be backed up.
When hcmdsbackups completes, the backup directory is created in the directory specified by
the dir option, and database files are combined and stored as backup.hdb.
Refreshing storage systems
To refresh the database, refresh all storage systems registered in Command View AE Suite.
1. Log in to Command View AE Suite using the System account.
2. On the Resources tab, click Storage Systems.
3. From the list of storage systems, select the storage system you want to refresh.

The database of storage systems is updated and the current information is reflected in the Summary
