11. On the executing node and standby node, change the value of the
server.base.initialsynchro property on the Device Manager server back to false.
12. On the executing node and standby node, change the value of the
server.base.initialsynchro property on the Tiered Storage Manager server back to
false.
13. If you specified ALL or DeviceManager for the type option, refresh the storage system from
the Device Manager GUI or CLI.
14. If you restored the management server database at the Replication Manager secondary site,
refresh the configuration information by using the Replication Manager GUI to synchronize the
Replication Manager database at the primary site and the Device Manager database at the
secondary site.
15. Check the status of Device Manager tasks from the Device Manager GUI.
If a Device Manager task is not completed or has failed, re-create the task or change the execution
schedule of the task as necessary.
16. See the message log of Tiered Storage Manager.
When Tiered Storage Manager is started for the first time after a database is restored, make
sure that the message KATS50354-E is output to a log file. The task IDs of Tiered Storage Manager
tasks whose status was changed to Failure are output to KATS50354-E.
17. See the volume information of the tasks indicated in the message KATS50354-E and check
whether those tasks are completed.
Check for completion of not only migration tasks but also shredding tasks and locking tasks.
18. If a Tiered Storage Manager task is not completed, create and execute the task again as necessary.
Restoring a database when a database is corrupted
If a database is corrupted, execute the hcmdsdbrepair command to restore the database by using
a database that was exported via the hcmdsdbtrans.
Restoring a database when it is corrupted (in a non-cluster configuration)
To restore a database if the management server is not clustered:
1. Log on to the management server as a user with Administrator permissions or root permissions.
2. Stop the P9000 Command View AE Suite product services.
In Windows:
Select Start > All Programs > HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite > Manage
Services > Stop.
In Linux:
installation-directory-for-Common-Component/bin/hcmdssrv -stop
