Appendix A: Quiescing services on Source CMS
Prior to stopping the HP Insight Software services and backing up your environment, you must quiesce
Insight Software components. The following actions only need to be performed for components that are
installed and currently in use in your environment.
Note:
The steps might vary slightly depending on the version of software installed on
your system. See the product documentation for your release for additional
information.
1. Ensure all in-progress Insight Dynamics recovery management jobs have completed. You can view the
status of these jobs by selecting Insight Recovery… from the Tools menu in HP SIM. Select the Jobs
tab to view the status of jobs. A job with the In progress icon in the Status column has not completed.
2. Ensure no Insight Dynamics infrastructure orchestration requests are in-progress, paused or scheduled.
You can view the status of Insight Dynamics infrastructure orchestration requests by selecting Insight
Orchestration… from the Tools menu in HP Systems Insight Manager and then selecting the Requests
tab. Click the End Date column name to sort the request list. Requests with an empty End Date have
not completed. If a request is scheduled to run during the upgrade process, you will need to defer the
execution of the request until the upgrade process is complete.
3. Ensure all in-progress logical server jobs have completed before stopping the HP Logical Server
Automation service. Logical server jobs that are in-progress when the service stops will fail. These
jobs must be resubmitted after restarting the Service. You can view the status of logical server jobs by
selecting VSE Management… from the Tools menu in HP Systems Insight Manager. Use the Reports
menu to select the Logical Server Job Status… item. Click the % complete column name to sort the list
of jobs.
4. Ensure all in-progress Virtual Connect jobs have completed. You can view the status of Virtual
Connect jobs by selecting Integrated ConsolesVirtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM)… from
the Tools menu in HP SIM. Select the Jobs tab to view the status of jobs. Click the End Time column
name to sort the job list. Jobs displaying an empty End Time have not finished.
5. Ensure all in-progress Virtual Machine tasks have completed. You can view the status of Virtual
Machine tasks by selecting View Task Results… from the Tasks & Logs menu in HP SIM. Click the
End Time column name to sort the task list. Tasks displaying an empty End Time have not completed.
6. Ensure all in-progress installation and configuration tasks have completed (for example, Configure and
Repair Agents tasks or Deploy Drivers, Firmware or Agents). You can view the status of the tasks by
selecting View Task Results… from the Tasks & Logs menu in HP SIM. Click the End Time column
name to sort the task list. Tasks displaying an empty End Time have not finished.
If you are using the CMS to manage gWLM on Integrity nodes, you can issue the gwlm history --flush
command to gather the latest historical data from the gWLM agents before performing a backup. This step
may be skipped if you are not using the CMS to manage gWLM on Integrity nodes.
