HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide (Web Version) (TK981-96004, May 2014)

Notes on databases, product types, and versions of HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition
products:
• If Replication Monitor 5.x or earlier is already installed on the migration source server, before
exporting the database, upgrade the product to version 6.0 or later on both the migration
source and destination servers.
If Replication Monitor cannot be upgraded to version 6.0 or later or if migrating the database
is not required, remove Replication Monitor from the products whose databases are to be
imported.
• Databases that are exported from an environment where Device Manager 6.x or earlier is
installed can be imported to an environment where Device Manager 7.0 or later is installed.
This can be done just once, only after Device Manager 7.0 or later is newly installed. After
the product is installed and overwritten to version 7.0 or later or when operation has started
on the migration destination server, do not import the database of 6.x or earlier again.
Notes on user information:
• If there is user information on the migration destination server, this user information will be
replaced with the user information from the migration source server. Therefore, do not perform
a migration to a server on which user information for HP XP7 Command View Advanced
Edition products already exists.
• Do not migrate the databases of HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products that
were running on different management servers to one management server because user in-
formation will be overwritten.
Procedure for migrating databases
To migrate databases:
1. On the migration destination server, install the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products
whose databases will be migrated.
2. Export the databases from the migration source server by using the hcmds64dbtrans command.
3. Transfer the archive file from the source server to the destination server.
4. Import the databases into the destination server by using the hcmds64dbtrans command.
The following sections describe each step.
Installing HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition on the migration-destination
server
On the migration source server, install the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products whose
databases will be migrated. Databases of HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products that
do not exist on the migration destination server cannot be migrated. Install necessary products on the
migration destination server before migration.
The versions of the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products installed on the migration
destination server must be the same as or later than the ones on the migration source server. If any
of the versions of the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products installed on the migration
destination server are earlier than the ones on the migration source server, no databases can be
migrated.
