Backing up and Restoring HP Insight Management 7.0 Central Management Server (Windows)
31
Completing the recovery process
Changes to managed resources that occur after backup but before the failure occurred,
referred to in this document as post-backup activity, can affect the recovery process.
Examples of post-backup activity include activating or deactivating a logical server or
infrastructure orchestration service, deleting an infrastructure orchestration service or
logical server, and adding or deleting a recovery management recovery group. To
complete the recovery process, the Insight Management components need to
resynchronize.
Important:
This note only applies if you are using the CMS to manage gWLM on
Integrity servers. If, as a post-backup activity, changes were made
to SRDs, policies or workloads, additional steps are required to
synchronize the state of the restored gWLM database with the
configuration deployed on the gWLM managed systems. Before
proceeding with this section, see Appendix F: gWLM configuration
changes
. To avoid the manual steps required to perform this
resynchronization, HP strongly recommends backing up the
environment whenever gWLM configuration changes are made.
Note:
The purpose of the mxsync tool is to place the Insight Management
components in a consistent state. Operations issued after backup
may need to be manually re-entered or cleaned up. HP
recommends backing up the environment frequently.
1. Run the mxsync command line utility in execution mode (-e) and follow the displayed
instructions. The mxsync command line utility is provided as an aid to guide the
Administrator through the process of synchronizing the Insight Management
environment with the current state of managed resources. Appendix A: HP Insight
mxsync Utility man page contains a description of the HP mxsync utility. Appendix B:
Sample mxsync.log, contains the output from a sample run of mxsync.
mxsync -e
Note:
The installation directory for the mxsync utility is
<SIM>\mxsync\bin directory. The fully qualified path for the
mxsync command is <SIM>\mxsync\bin\mxsync.
