HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.0 Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide (7.0 and 7.1)

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 Matrix OE. Previous versions of
the Matrix OE 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 Matrix OE according to the instructions in the
Matrix OE installation guide (HP Matrix Operating
Environment for HP-UX Installation and Configuration
Guide or HP Insight Management 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 Matrix OE database from the backup.
4. Install the new version of Matrix OE 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 Matrix OE
If Matrix OE is removed and reinstalled, collection of Capacity Advisor data can miss some data
on the CMS. To avoid this, back up the Matrix OE database before removing Matrix OE, and
restore the database after it is reinstalled.
