Backing up and restoring HP Insight Management 7.3 Central Management Server (Windows)

Technical white paper | HP Insight Management 7.3
Preparing your environment for restore
Before performing a restore, use the following procedure to quiesce the environment:
1. If your environment is operational and the configuration is a federated CMS, follow step 1 in Preparing your
environment for backup.
2. If your environment is operational, follow step 2 in Preparing your environment for backup.
3. If running, stop the HP Insight Management services described in Table 9
in the order listed in the
Stop Order
column,
using the mxsync-svcutil script as shown in Table 10. Enter the following command at the command prompt:
mxsync-svcutil stop restore
For HA CMS cluster configurations, some local services are not configured as part of the HP Insight Management cluster
service; they must be stopped on both nodes. These services are stopped automatically on the primary node by the
stop command. They must be stopped manually on the secondary node. To do this, you must log in to the secondary
node and stop these services by running the mxsync-svcutil script (if installed locally) from the command
prompt.
Note:
• If you have implemented a policy to automatically restart stopped services in your environment, the policy must be
disabled temporarily to avoid restarting the services during the recovery process.
• If you have changed the Windows service startup type for any of the installed HP Insight Management components,
you must modify the mxsync-svcutil script to reflect these changes. For details, see Appendix D: mxsync-svcutil
man page
