Procedure

The status of the synchronization process appears in the Replication Info pane.
2 Use the icons at the top of the Replication Info pane to manage the synchronization process.
Option Action

a Click the Start Synchronization icon.
b (Optional) Select the Restart synchronization check box to restart the
synchronization process for all resources that have already
synchronized their data.
c Select the start date and time of the data to be synchronized.
d Click OK to save your configuration.
Pause the synchronization process
a Click the Pause Synchronization icon.
b Click Yes in the Pause Synchonization dialog box to pause the

Backing Up the RDB
The vCenter Operations Manager RDB contains configuration and state information, such as dynamic
threshold results, anomalies, alerts, and data correlation results that vCenter Operations Manager analytics
and the vCenter Operations Manager user interface use.
In most cases, you put the RDB on a dedicated database server that is separate from the
vCenter Operations Manager server but that is in close network proximity, such as in the same data center
within the same firewall. In smaller environments, it might be suitable to host the RDB on the
vCenter Operations Manager server.
Backing up the vCenter Operations Manager database has no special requirements. Your organization's
database administrator can use standard corporate RDB procedures to back up the
vCenter Operations Manager RDB on a regular basis.
