This section explains how to restore the Admin Server.
Note
In a clustered Manager configuration, restore contents from the backup folder stored on the cluster-shared disk. For details on the backup folder in such environments, refer to "B.3 Configuration" in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
Reinstall the Manager and restore the certificates and session encryption keys
If the Manager does not run correctly due to a damaged Manager file, uninstall the Manager, install the Manager again, and then restore the certificates and session encryption keys.
When re-installing the Manager, use the path confirmed during backup for the image files folder.
Refer to "2.1 Manager Installation" and "3.1 Manager Uninstallation" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide" for details on restoring certificates.
Restore of session encryption keys is required only if you are saving a password using the -save option of the rcxlogin command. Restore is not required if you are not saving a password, or if you are re-saving a password. For details on the rcxlogin command, refer to "2.1 rcxlogin" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Command Reference".
If you are restoring a session encryption key, recover the following file that was copied at backup time to the backup folder.
Installation folder \Manager\Rails\config\rcx_secret.key
The saved password will be stored in the home directory of the OS user account that executed the saving of the password. If the contents of the home directory are damaged, either restore the home directory, or save the password again using the rcxlogin command.
Restore the system and cloning images
Use the following procedure to restore system and cloning images.
Stop the Manager.
Refer to "5.1 Manager" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" for details on how to stop the Manager.
Restore the backup folder that was copied in "2. Backing up system and cloning images" of "B.2 Backup" to the folder that was specified at installation time.
Example
Default value after installation
Installation_folder\ScwPro\depot
Restart the Manager.
Refer to "5.1 Manager" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" for details on how to restart the Manager.
Import the system configuration file
Import the system configuration file that was exported in "3. Export the system configuration file" of "B.2 Backup".
Refer to "7.2 Importing the System Configuration File" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide" for details.
Restore image settings
Restore the following image settings if those had been modified at the time of backup.
Maximum number of system image versions
Maximum number of cloning image versions
For details on the maximum number of system image versions, refer to "6.3.1.3 Changing the Maximum Number of System Image Versions" in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
For details on the maximum number of cloning image versions, refer to "6.3.1.4 Changing the Maximum Number of Cloning Image Versions" in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
Note
When the system configuration file is exported, in all sections, "operation" will become a hyphen ("-"). Therefore, do not import the system configuration file until after correcting "operation" to "new". For details on the system configuration file, refer to "Appendix D Format of CSV System Configuration Files" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
If you are importing the system configuration file when the OS of the managed server is not started, registration of the Agent will fail. Therefore, start the OS before performing import.
If you are setting a VM host as a spare server, leave "operation" as a hyphen ("-") in the "SpareServer" section of the corresponding physical server. After import is completed, set the spare server of the corresponding physical server from the RC console.
Do not perform restore during server switchover, failback, while a system image is being backed up or restored, or while a cloning image is being collected or deployed.
Restore only certificates, system images, cloning images and system configuration files that were backed up at the same time.
Restore can only be executed if none of the settings or hardware configuration changes described below have been made since backing up the Admin Server:
Replacement of a chassis, LAN switch blade, managed server or power monitoring device hardware
Replacement of a managed server NIC
LAN connections between managed servers and LAN switch blades
server switchover or takeover (*1)
*1: If in switchback status after server switchover, restore can be performed.
A managed server using HBA address rename must be restarted after being restored.
Maintenance mode settings cannot be recovered after restore. Set the maintenance mode in accordance with the information recorded at backup time.
If the managed server's Agent was registered, perform either one of the following after restoring the Admin Server to enable subsequent system image backup or cloning image collection operations.
Restart the managed server.
Restart the Agent's "deployment service" by following the procedure described in "5.2 Agent" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
LAN switches and physical link data (used by the Network Map) are not subject to backup.
LAN switches and physical link data should be manually restored following the instructions given in "12.2 Preparations".
