HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide

NOTE: If the CMS or managed systems have been
modified between the backup and the restore (for example,
changing hostnames or adding or removing processors),
gWLM might not function as expected after the restore.
NOTE: You cannot restore a backup that was created
with a previous version of Insight Dynamics. Previous
versions of the Insight Dynamics database may be
incompatible with the current version. If you have not yet
installed the current version of the software and you intend
to restore from a previous backup, perform the restore
first. Then install and initialize the new software. The
initialization process upgrades the already-restored
database to the current format.
If you have already updated the software and you need to
restore from a backup made by a previous version of the
software, follow these steps:
1. Remove Insight Dynamics according to the
instructions in the Insight Dynamics installation guide
(HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Integrity CMS Installation and
Configuration Guide or HP Insight Software 6.2
Installation and Configuration Guide).
2. Reinstall the version of the software on which the
backup was created, according to the installation
instructions published with that release.
3. Restore the Insight Dynamics database from the
backup.
4. Install the new version of Insight Dynamics according
to the current installation guide.
5. Initialize the software as described in the earlier
description of the --initconfig option. This
upgrades the restored database to the new format.
Removing and Reinstalling VSE
If Insight Dynamics is removed and reinstalled, collection of Capacity Advisor data can miss
some data on the CMS. To avoid this, back up the Insight Dynamics database before removing
Insight Dynamics, and restore the database after it is reinstalled.
