Conditions for the machine
used for the restore
destination or the import
destination
The following must be the same in
the backup source machine and the
restore destination machine:
• Types, versions, and revisions
of the installed XP Command
View AE Suite
• Installation locations for each XP
Command View AE Suite
product, Common Component,
each XP Command View AE
Suite product database, and
Common Component database
• The IP address and host name
of the machine
• The XP Command View AE Suite
products whose databases are to be
imported must be installed.
• The versions of the installed XP
Command View AE Suite products
must be the same as or higher than the
ones on the export source machine.
The following subsections describe the procedure for each operation separately.
4-5-1 Backing up the server database
CAUTION: To back up the Device Manager database, a directory for storing the backup file is
required. The capacity of this directory must be at least the total size of the following two
directories:
•
The directory storing the Device Manager database
• The directory storing the Common Component database
This capacity is a guideline value applied when only the Device Manager database is installed. If XP
Command View AE Suite products other than Device Manager are also installed, take the capacities
of those databases into account as well.
To back up a database:
1. If XP Command View AE Suite products whose versions are earlier than 5.7 have been
installed, stop their services.
For details about how to stop these services, see the manual for your product version.
2. If XP Command View AE Suite products whose versions are 5.7 or later have not been
installed, stop Common Component, and then start HiRDB.
<common component installation directory>/bin/hcmdssrv -stop
<common component installation directory>/bin/hcmdsdbsrv –start
The following shows an example of executing the commands:
# /opt/CVXPAE/Base/bin/hcmdssrv -stop
# /opt/CVXPAE/Base/bin/hcmdsdbsrv -start
3. Execute the hcmdsbackups command from the terminal window.
The auto option can be specified only when XP Command View AE Suite products whose
versions are 5.7 or later have been installed:
<common component installation directory>/bin/hcmdsbackups -dir
target-directory-for-storing-backup-files -auto
The following shows an example of executing the command:
# /opt/CVXPAE/Base/bin/hcmdsbackups -dir /opt/db_bkup01 -auto
The following shows the specifiable option for the hcmdsbackups command:
