HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.2 Installation and Configuration Guide

2. Execute the hcmdsbackups command to back up the database.
For Windows:
Common-Component-installation-folder\bin\hcmdsbackups /dir
folder-for-storing-backup-files /auto
For Linux:
Common-Component-installation-directory/bin/hcmdsbackups -dir
directory-for-storing-backup-files -auto
NOTE:
The dir option is used to specify the absolute path of the folder or directory on the local
disk where the database backup files are stored. Verify that the folder or directory specified
does not already include any files or subdirectories. (For Linux, do not specify a path that
includes a space.)
The auto option automatically changes the status of the P9000 Command View AE Software
product services and the HiRDB service on the same system to active, so the database can
be backed up.
When hcmdsbackups completes, the backup directory is created in the directory specified by
the dir option, and database files are combined and stored as backup.hdb.

To refresh the database, refresh all storage systems registered in P9000 Command View AE Software.
To refresh storage system information:
1. Log in to P9000 Command View AE Software using the System account.
