HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition software Device Manager server installation and configuration guide (web version) (T1780-96078, March 2008)

Windows systems installation

NOTE: The backup will be written to the following folders:

C:\TMP\backup\base and C:\TMP\backup\database

NOTE: This example used the C:\TMP folder as the backup location. In a production environment,

you should create a permanent folder for the backup location. For example, if you used

C:\HDvMBkup\backups as the backup location, it would be written to the following folders:

C:\HDvMBkup\backup\base and C:\HDvMBkup\backup\database

dir

Specify the absolute path of the folder, on the local disk, that stores backup files of the

Device Manager server database.

CAUTION: Make sure that no files or subfolders are in the folder specified for the dir option. If

there are any files or subfolders in the folder, the backup processing will be aborted. In such a

case, delete the files or subfolders in the folder, and then re-execute the hcmdsbackups

command.

auto

Specify this option to stop the XP Command View AE Suite services and to start HiRDB

automatically as preparation for processing the database. After the command is executed,

the XP Command View AE Suite services and HiRDB are started. Note that the services of

XP Command View AE Suite products whose versions are earlier than 5.7 are not started

and stopped automatically.

NOTE: When you execute the hcmdsbackups command, a folder named database will be

created in the target folder for storing backup files, and the database backup file will be stored

with the name backup.hdb.

4. If you have stopped Common Component in step 2, execute the following command to start

Common Component:

<common component installation folder>\bin\hcmdssrv /start

5. If XP Command View AE Suite products whose versions are earlier than 5.7 have been

installed, start their services as required.

For details about how to start these services, see the manual for your product version.

NOTE: You might consider creating a batch file to back up the database. See

Figure 3-1 for an

example of such a batch command. You will still need to manually stop the server and make sure

that HiRDB is running before executing the batch command.

C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\Base\bin

hcmdsbackups /dir C:\TMP\backup

NOTE: Before restoring the database, be sure to confirm that the following are the same in the

backup source Device Manager server and the restore destination Device Manager server. If the

following are not the same, the database cannot be restored.
