Managing local databases
Each workstation running the HP IP Console Viewer contains a local database that records all of the
information that is entered about the console switches and servers. If multiple workstations access a
server, you can configure them and save a copy of the database and load it onto other workstations to
avoid reconfiguring each one. You can also export the database for use in another application.
Saving local databases
The HP IP Console Viewer enables you to save a copy of the local database. The saved database can
then be loaded back to the same computers on which it was created, or it can be loaded on another HP
IP Console Viewer client station. The saved database is compressed into a single .ZIP file.
While the database is being saved, no other activity is allowed. All other windows, including the Video
Session Viewer and Serial Session Viewer, and Manage Console Switch windows, must be closed. If
other windows are open, a message appears, prompting you to either continue, which closes all open
windows, or quit, which cancels the database save process.
