Backing up and Restoring HP Insight Management 7.0 Central Management Server (Windows)

11. Stop the Insight Management services listed in Table 2 in the order defined by the Stop

Order column. You can do this from the command prompt using the mxsync-svcutil

script, which is located in <SIM>\mxsync\bin. See Appendix D: mxsync-svcutil man

page for more information about mxsync-svcutil.

For HA CMS configurations, you will also need to stop some Insight Management

services that are running on the secondary node. To do this, you must login to the

secondary node. There are two local services that are not configured as part of the

Insight Management cluster service that need to be stopped. These services are

running on both cluster server nodes and will need to be manually stopped on the

secondary node. You can stop these services using the mxsync-svcutil script from the

command prompt.

Note:

If you have implemented a policy to automatically restart stopped

services in your environment, then this policy will need to be

temporarily disabled to avoid restarting the services during the

backup.

If you have changed the Windows service “startup type” for any of

the installed Insight Management components, you will need to

modify the mxsync-svcutil script to reflect these changes.

Note:

For HA CMS configurations, you will need to manually copy the

mxsync-svcutil.bat script to the local disk of each cluster node.

Note:

For HA CMS cluster configurations, most Insight Management

services are configured as cluster resources. These services should

not be stopped or started as services directly. They need to be

managed as cluster resources. The mxsync-svcutil script is

cluster-aware and will take the cluster resources containing these

services offline to stop these services.

Note:

For infrastructure orchestration federated CMS configurations, it is

only necessary to stop and start Insight Management services that

are running on the server being backed up. The HP Matrix

infrastructure orchestration services should only be stopped and

started on the primary CMS when backing up the primary CMS.
