HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.1.1 Administrator Guide (web) (TB581-96065, September 2011)

#: When importing databases that were exported from an environment of version 7.0 or
later, regardless of whether you have registered a Tiered Storage Manager license, import
both the Device Manager and Tiered Storage Manager databases at the same time.
You can use the type option to migrate databases only if the database data of all the spe-
cified products is contained in the archive file or in the directory specified by the workpath
option, and all the specified products exist on the migration destination server. If any of the
products do not meet the above conditions, data cannot be migrated.
auto
This option automatically changes the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services and
the HiRDB service to the statuses required for importing the databases. After the command
finishes, the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services and the HiRDB service will
remain stopped.
4. Specify true for the server.base.initialsynchro property on the Device Manager server.
Because, other than user information, the hcmdsdbtrans command does not migrate the
Common Component repository, you need to synchronize the repository information with the
imported Device Manager database data.
5. Specify true for the server.base.initialsynchro property on the Tiered Storage Manager
server.
6. Start the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services on the migration destination server
as follows.
In Windows:
Select Start > All Programs > HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite > Manage
Services > Start.
In Linux:
installation-directory-for-Common-Component/bin/hcmdssrv -start
7. Change the value of the server.base.initialsynchro property on the Device Manager
server back to false.
8. Change the value of the server.base.initialsynchro property on the Tiered Storage
Manager server back to false.
9. In the following cases, use the Device Manager GUI or CLI to refresh the storage systems:
• If the configuration of the storage system was changed between the time databases were
exported and the time they were imported:
Refresh the storage system whose configuration was changed.
• If the versions of P9000 Command View AE Suite products that are installed on the migration
source and destination management servers are different:
Refresh all the storage systems that are registered in Device Manager.
10. Acquire the latest configuration information from the Replication Manager GUI to synchronize
the Replication Manager database and the Device Manager database.
11. Back up the databases.
After resuming operations, you cannot import the archive file that was exported in version 6.4
or earlier. In preparation for a failure, we recommend that you back up the databases immediately
after importing them. For details on how to back up the databases, see “Backing up a database
in a non-cluster configuration” on page 190.
