Managing the database
136
You can migrate XP Command View AE Suite product databases by using the hcmdsdbtrans
command. This command migrates both the data stored in the databases of XP Command View AE
Suite products and the user information managed by Common Component.
You can also use the hcmdsdbtrans command to migrate the Device Manager database to a
server whose environment differs from the current one in any of the following ways:
Migration to a server of a different platform
Migration to a server on which installation locations for XP Command View AE Suite products
differ from the ones on the migration source server
Migration to a server on which versions of XP Command View AE Suite products are later than
the ones on the migration source server
9-4-1 Notes on migrating databases
The following are notes on the databases, product types, versions, and user information of XP
Command View AE Suite products on the migration source and destination servers.
Notes on databases, product types, and versions of XP Command View AE Suite products:
Databases of XP Command View AE Suite products that do not exist on the migration
destination server cannot be migrated. Install necessary products on the migration
destination server before migration.
If a storage subsystem that is not supported on the migration destination server is
registered in the Device Manager database on the migration source server, delete that
storage subsystem from the database before migration.
If any of the versions of the XP Command View AE Suite products installed on the
migration destination server are earlier than the ones on the migration source server, no
databases can be migrated. On the migration destination server, install XP Command View
AE Suite products whose versions are the same as or later than the ones on the migration
source server.
If you want to migrate the database of XP Replication Monitor 1.1 or earlier, upgrade XP
Replication Monitor on the migration source and destination servers to version 5.0 or later
in advance. If you cannot upgrade XP Replication Monitor to version 5.0 or later, or the XP
Replication Monitor database does not need to be migrated, use the type option to specify
all products other than XP Replication Monitor when you execute the command.
If you want to migrate the data in the XP Replication Monitor database to an XP Replication
Manager database, upgrade XP Replication Monitor on the migration source server to XP
Replication Manager, and then migrate the database.
Notes on user information:
If there is user information on the migration destination server, this user information will be
replaced with the user information from the migration source server. Therefore, do not
perform a migration to a server on which user information for XP Command View AE Suite
products already exists.
Do not migrate the databases of XP Command View AE Suite products that were running
on different management servers to one management server because user information will
be overwritten.
9-4-2 Procedure for migrating databases
To migrate databases:
1. On the migration destination server, install the XP Command View AE Suite products whose
databases will be migrated.
2. Export the databases from the migration source server by using the hcmdsdbtrans command.
3. Transfer the archive file from the source server to the destination server.
