Backing Up and Restoring Rack and Power Manager
It is always preferable to restore from a full system backup. In the event that a full system
backup is not possible, all settings, configurations and devices for HP Rack and Power
Manager are stored in the DEVICEDB1.GDB, DB.INI and ISC4.GDB files. At a minimum, it
is best to ensure that these files are backed up on a regular basis. If the HP Rack and Power
Manager Management Server must be recovered and a full system backup is not available,
the Management Server can be recovered using the following steps:
1. Install a new copy of HP Rack and Power Manager.
2. Stop these services or processes in the following order:
Friendly Name Windows Service Name Linux Process Name
a. HP Management Server HP Management Server HP Service Manager
HP Device Manager
HP Discovery Manager
HP Rack Manager
b. Firebird Guardian Service InterBaseGuardian ibguard
c. Firebird Server (if not already stopped) InterBaseServer ibserver
3. Replace the DEVICESDB1.GDB, DB.INI and ISC4.GDB files in the directory in which
HP Rack and Power Manager installed them.
4. Restart services or processes in the following order:
a. Firebird Guardian Service
b. Firebird Server (if not already started)
c. HP Management Server
5. After the files have been replaced, log in using the original (backed up) user name and
password.
NOTE: Serial Relay Agents and System Agents do not need to restore any files upon reinstallation.
