Migrating data to another management station
If you are moving data from an existing management station to a new management station, use the
Backup utility to migrate P9000 Performance Advisor settings and preferences. Use this tool to preserve
the data and configuration preferences by saving the existing settings and restoring them on the new
management station. Migrate or backup the P9000 Performance Advisor database and settings based
on the following options:
IMPORTANT:
• To use the Backup utility, ensure that the same version of P9000 Performance Advisor is installed
on both the source and target management stations.
• Do not modify the default settings that is configured for the P9000 Performance Advisor database
at the time of installation or upgrade.
• If you have already configured the serverparameters.properties file on the target man-
agement station, it will be replaced with the serverparameters.properties file that you
backed up from the source management station. After you restore the database, the HP Storage-
Works P9000 Performance Advisor Tomcat service is automatically restarted to reflect the latest
settings.
