Restore OMIVV database from backup

After restoring OMIVV from a previous version:

• 11G servers are not supported. Only the 12G and later servers are retained after restore.

• Hardware Profiles and Deployment Templates are not supported. It is recommended that you use System Profile for deployment.

• Deployment tasks that are scheduled on 11G servers and/or using Hardware Profile based Deployment Templates are canceled.

• All 11G servers are removed from Credential Profiles and consumed licenses are relinquished.

• Repository Profiles will use only 64-bit bundles.

NOTE:

If you perform backup and restore from 4.x to 5.x, a warning symbol is displayed against the cluster profile

name because OMIVV does not support 32-bit firmware bundle in 5.x. To use the latest changes for the cluster

profile, edit the cluster profile.

• Firmware Update jobs that are scheduled on 11G servers are canceled.

The restore operation causes the OMIVV appliance to reboot after restoration is complete.
