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

Appendix F: gWLM configuration changes

This section can be skipped if you are not using the CMS to manage gWLM on Integrity

servers.

If, as a post-backup activity, changes were made to the gWLM configuration, these

changes must be reissued to synchronize the restored gWLM database with the

configurations deployed on the gWLM managed systems. The steps required to perform this

resynchronization are described in this appendix.

Table 18 contains a high-level description of the synchronization steps.

Table 18. Overview of the steps to resynchronize the gWLM configuration.

Step Action

1 On each affected managed system, stop the gwlmagent and manually clear any

SRDs that were updated after backup.

2 Redo any post-backup changes made to the gWLM CMS property file.

3 Start the HP Global Workload Manager Central Management Server service on the

CMS.

4 Force an undeploy of each post-backup updated SRD.

Run mxsync –e

Complete section 1 “Systems Insight Manager”.

6 Reissue the gWLM configuration changes that were made post-backup.

Return to mxsync and complete synchronization starting with section 2.

Important:

In most environments, operations such as adding, deleting, or

modifying SRDs are expected to occur infrequently. To avoid the

manual steps required to perform this resynchronization, HP strongly

recommends backing up the CMS after changing the gWLM

configuration.

1. If the gWLM configuration deployed on a managed system was updated after backup,

you must manually clear the Secure Resource Domain (SRD) on each updated

managed system prior to starting the gWLM CMS service. This is necessary to ensure an

out-of-date configuration is not deployed by the gWLM CMS service to a post-backup

updated managed system. To manually clear the SRD, login to the managed system

and execute the following commands:

#/opt/gwlm/bin/gwlmagent --stop

# rm -f /etc/opt/gwlm/deployed.config

This step must be performed on each gWLM managed system that was updated after

backup.

2. Redo any post-backup changes made to the gWLM CMS property file.

3. Start the HP Global Workload Manager Central Management Server service on the

CMS.

4. Before reissuing the post-backup gWLM configuration changes, you must force an

undeploy of each updated SRD by running the following command on the CMS:

# gwlm undeploy --srd=<SRD Name> --force

This step is necessary to ensure the CMS and the managed systems agree on the SRD’s

state.
