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

Windows systems installation

• You cannot perform migration to integrate the XP Command View AE Suite that was running

on multiple management servers on to one management server because user information will

be overwritten with each successive migration.

3-7-3-2 Procedure for migrating databases

To migrate databases:

1. Install, on the migration destination server, the XP Command View AE Suite products whose

databases will be migrated.

2. Export the databases at the migration source server by using the hcmdsdbtrans command.

3. Transfer the archive file from the migration source server to the migration destination server.

4. Import the database at the migration destination server by using the hcmdsdbtrans command.

The following subsections describe the details of each procedure. To perform migration between

heterogeneous platforms, also see subsection

4-5-3 .

3-7-3-3 Installing the XP Command View AE Suite on the migration

destination server

Install, on the migration destination server, the XP Command View AE Suite products whose

databases will be migrated. The version of each XP Command View AE Suite product installed on

the migration destination server must be the same as or higher than the one on the migration source

server.

3-7-3-4 Exporting the database at the migration source server

To export the database of Device Manager, a folder for temporarily storing the information of the

database, and a folder for storing the archive file are required. Each of these folders requires the as

much capacity as the total size of the following two folders:

• The folder storing the Device Manager database.

• The folder storing the Common Component database (excluding the SYS folder and the folders

beneath it).

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.

CAUTION: If the total capacity of the database exceeds 2 GB, an attempt to create the archive file

fails when the database is exported. In this case, instead of using the archive file, transfer to the

migration destination the database information collected when exporting the database.

To export the database at the migration source server:

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.

The following shows an example of executing the commands:

C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\Base\bin\hcmdssrv /stop

C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\Base\bin\hcmdsdbsrv /start

3. From the command prompt, execute the hcmdsdbtrans command.
