Exporting databases in a non-cluster configuration
This section explains how to export the databases from the migration source server when the OS of
the management server is not in a cluster configuration.
To export databases from the migration-source server:
1. Log on to the management server as a user with Administrator permissions or root permissions.
2. Execute the hcmdsdbtrans command to export the databases.
In Windows:
installation-folder-for-Common-Component\bin\hcmdsdbtrans /export
/workpath working-folder /file archive-file /auto
In Linux:
installation-directory-for-Common-Component/bin/hcmdsdbtrans -export
-workpath working-directory -file archive-file -auto
workpath
Specify the absolute path to the working directory where you want to temporarily store
database data. In Linux, do not specify a path that includes a space. Specify a directory on
your local disk.
Make sure that no files or subdirectories are in the directory specified for the workpath
option.
file
Using an absolute path, specify the name of the archive file to be output. In Linux, do not
include a space in this path.
auto
This option automatically changes the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services and
the HiRDB service to the statuses required for exporting the databases. After the command
finishes, the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services and the HiRDB service will
be active.
3. Transfer the exported files to the migration destination server.
If the archive file cannot be created, transfer all the files created in the directory specified by the
workpath option. In this case, do not change the structure of the files.
Exporting databases (Microsoft Cluster Service or Microsoft Failover Cluster)
This section explains how to export the databases on the migration destination server when the OS
of the management server is in a cluster configuration.
CAUTION:
• Use the executing node (a machine that has online set for mode in the cluster.conffile) to
export databases.
• In the cluster management application, specify the name registered when you specified the cluster
resource settings for the resource name.
To export databases using Microsoft Cluster Service or Microsoft Failover Cluster:
1. Log on to the management server as a user with Administrator permissions.
