Database Maintenance and Management242
• Management server RMAN backup files —These files contain information about the elements
your management server monitors.

listener.ora.
• CIM Repository
To run a cold backup:
1. Access the Database Admin Utility as described in ”Accessing the Database Admin Utility” on
page 233.

3. Click Browse to select a file path.
4. In the File Name box, provide a directory path (may automatically be populated in some Web
browsers), but do not provide a file name.
IMPORTANT: The management server saves the backup in a directory called
COLDBACKUP in the path you specified. Any pre-existing content in this directory, such as
previous cold backups, is removed.

destination to a new volume, as described in the following steps:
1. Access the Database Admin Utility as described in ”Accessing the Database Admin Utility” on
page 233.
2. Click Set Archive Destination in the left pane.
3. Click Browse to select a file path.
4. Enter the password of the SYS account.
5. Click Set Archive Destination.
Downloading Log Files
Use the Download Logs option to view log files generated by the management server. Download
Logs saves all the log files in a zip file, which is stamped with the date and time (24-hour clock).
NOTE: Some of the log files are generated only when you run certain features. For example, the
reports.log file is only generated when you run reports.
Follow these steps to download all of the log files for the management server.
