Tips for backup and restore
Here are tips to make the best use of backup and restore:
• To ensure the latest gWLM data is backed up, issue the following command before using
the --backup option:
gwlm history --flush
• If the CMS or the managed nodes have been modified (such as changes in number of cores
or hostnames) between a backup and a restore or you are trying to do a restore on a different
CMS, gWLM will probably not function as expected after the restore.
Setting gWLM properties
gWLM provides two properties files that allow you to control various gWLM behaviors. One
file is for the CMS daemon or service, and the other is for use on all the managed nodes. Read
the files for information on the behaviors they control.
CMS properties
The CMS properties are in /etc/opt/gwlm/conf/gwlmcms.properties on HP-UX and in
C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\gwlmcms.properties
on Windows. (The given Windows path is the default; however, a different path might have
been selected at installation.)
NOTE: Some values are read by gWLM only when a daemon or service is started; while other
values are read when an SRD is deployed. Refer to the file for information on when individual
properties are read.
Restarting gwlmcmsd temporarily disables HP Virtualization Manager and HP Capacity Advisor.
The gwlmcms.properties file is shown below.
