Back up your existing CMS configuration before upgrading the software
HP recommends making a backup of your pre-6.3 environment before upgrading the software.
The upgrade process is not reversible. If, after you begin, you decide not to complete the upgrade
to HP Insight Software 6.3, a backup copy of your pre-6.3 environment is required to restore your
CMS to the pre-upgrade state.
IMPORTANT: After the upgrade process has successfully completed, you must also perform a
backup of the upgraded 6.3 configuration to restore your environment to a known good state in
the event of a catastrophic failure. This is necessary to ensure that managed resources, if they were
changed by the 6.3 CMS, will continue to be manageable if the CMS ever needs to be restored
from backup.
See the Backing up and restoring HP Insight Software Central Management Server (Windows)
white paper at www.hp.com/go/insightdynamics/docs for detailed backup and restore instructions.
