Adding a License Key
This command generates a backup of the database in the specified backup directory.
The backup consists of two files,
ismp.db and ismp.log. All database files are backed
up. These files should be saved so they can be used to replace the original files in the
event of a problem.
Syntax:
dbbackup [switches] directory
Installing a Backup Database
The backup database is named ismp.db, and is kept in the directory you specified when
you ran the
dbbackup command.
To replace a damaged database with the backup copy, follow these steps:
1 Shut down the ISM Provision software following the instructions for your operating
system in the ISM Provision Installation Guide, or from within NIM in the Server
Administration view. See the task, “Stop Server”, in Chapter 7, “Managing the ISM
Provision Server”.
2 Move or delete the old copy of
ismp.db found in the ISM Provision installation, in
the directory
<install_dir>\server\database.
3 Copy the backup copy of
ismp.db to the directory
<install_dir>\server\database.
4 Restart the ISM Provision software following the instructions in the ISM Provision
Installation Guide for your operating system environment.
Adding a License Key
The license keys are just long strings of characters stored in a simple text file.
For both Windows and Solaris the license file is:
<install_dir>/ISMPLicenseKey.txt
