Backing up repositories and files
HP recommends that you back up appropriate HP WBEM Services directory structures and files
on a regular basis. If these directories or files are deleted, moved, or corrupted, you will need to
restore these files from the backup.
If you do not have a back-up of these repositories and files, especially SSL certificates files such
as file.pem and cert.pem, then you will need to re-install HP WBEM Services or re-create
certificates using the OpenSSL toolkit.
For more information on recreating certificates, see http://www.openssl.org/docs.
NOTE: When you re-install HP WBEM Services, only the default providers available with HP
WBEM Services are installed and registered. Any additional providers that were registered with
the previous installation of HP WBEM Services must be installed and registered again.
For HP-UX systems, you must back-up the following files:
• SSL certificate files
◦ /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/cert.pem
◦ /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/file.pem
• Directories for the repository files.
Table 2 Directories for the repository files

For taking backups of files and repositories, HP recommends that you use the cimreparchive
tool that is available with HP WBEM Services. The cimreparchive tool creates an archive copy
of the CIM Server repository in a specified archive file. The archive copy contains a consistent
repository state even if it is created while the CIM Server is running.
