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: Do not use the Windows Services screen to start and stop Device Manager services

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. Execute the hcmdsdb command from the command prompt:

<common component installation folder>\bin\hcmdsdb.bat /restore

backup-file /type name-of-XP-Command-View-AE-Suite-to-be-restored

/auto

The following shows an example of executing the command:

C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\Base\bin\hcmdsdb /restore

C:\db_bkup01\database\backup.hdb /type DeviceManager /auto

3. The specifiable options are as follows:

restore

Specify the absolute path of the Device Manager server database backup file

(backup.hdb).

type

Specify the name of the XP Command View AE Suite product to be restored. Specify

DeviceManager to restore the Device Manager database only, or specify ALL (all capital

letters) if you want to restore all XP Command View AE databases at once. Specify ALL if

you want to restore the databases when you are uninstalling and then reinstalling all the XP

Command View AE Suite.

auto

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

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

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

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

stopped automatically.

If you specify DeviceManager for the type option, specify true for the

server.base.initialsynchro property in the server.properties file. See

subsection

8-2-23 for more information.

4. Start the XP Command View AE Suite services and Common Component as follows:

Select Start > Programs > XP Command View AE > Device Manager > Start Server with

Common Services.

CAUTION: The services of XP Command View AE Suite products whose versions are earlier than

5.7 are not started. If such XP Command View AE Suite products have been installed, start their

services manually as required. For details about how to start these services, see the manual for

your product version.

5. Change the value of the server.base.initialsynchro property in the

server.properties file back to false.

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

Figure 3-2 for an

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

HiRDB before executing the batch command.
