HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide

you must execute the command before removing the
software (see HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Integrity CMS
Installation and Configuration Guide).
-b|--backup
Back up the Insight Dynamics database, including gWLM
and Capacity Advisor data, to protect against loss of data.
Insight Dynamics must be initialized before you can
perform a backup. For information about initializing
Insight Dynamics, see the earlier description of the
--initconfig option.
NOTE: This option is only available on a CMS running
HP-UX using the PostgreSQL database.
The backup is created in the directory specified by the -d
or --dir option. This directory must be initially empty or
must not yet exist.
The backup created by this command contains only Insight
Dynamics data. For information about backing up the HP
SIM database, refer to the HP white paper Backing up and
restoring HP Systems Insight Manager data files in an HP-UX
or Linux environment, available from the Information Library
link at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim.
If you are creating a backup in preparation for relocating
the CMS, HP recommends that you first undeploy all
shared resource domains (SRDs). This will make it easier
to redeploy the SRDs after the CMS is moved. To ensure
that your backup includes up-to-date historic data, you
should also perform the following steps:
1. If you are using gWLM to manage any SRDs, execute
the following command on the CMS:
gwlm history --flush
2. If you use Capacity Advisor, execute the following
command on the CMS:
capcollect
-s|--restore
Restore the Insight Dynamics database from the backup
in the directory named by the -d or --dir option. Insight
Dynamics must be initialized before you can perform a
restore, therefore the --clobber or -F is also required in
order to replace the database. For information about
initializing Insight Dynamics, see the earlier description
of the --initconfig option.
NOTE: This option is only available on a CMS running
HP-UX using the PostgreSQL database.
HP SIM must be stopped when the restore operation is
performed. To stop HP SIM, execute the command mxstop
on the CMS. Use mxstart to restart HP SIM after the
restore operation is finished.
