This section explains how to restore an admin server.
Note
When operating managers in cluster environments, change the name of the folder to restore to the folder name used on the shared disk.
For details on the folder name of the shared disk, refer to the manager cluster operation settings section of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
Reinstall the manager and the backup and restore tools of the configuration definition information, and restore the certificates and session encryption keys
When the manager does not operate correctly due to damaged files, uninstall the manager and then reinstall it. After reinstalling backup and restore tools for configuration definition information, restore the certificates and session encryption keys.
When re-installing the manager, use the path for the image files storage folder confirmed during backup.
For details on how to restore the manager, refer to the information about manager installation and uninstallation in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
Restoration of session encryption keys is only required if passwords were saved using the -save option of the rcxlogin command. This step is not required if no password has been saved, or if passwords are to be saved again after re-installation.
For details on the rcxlogin command, refer to the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Command Reference".
To restore session encryption keys, restore the following file from the backup folder to the given destination.
[Windows]
Installation_folder\Manager\Rails\config\rcx_secret.key
[Linux]
/opt/FJSVrcvmr/rails/config/rcx_secret.key
As saved passwords are stored in the home directory of the OS user account for which the password was saved, authentication may fail if the home directory contents were damaged. In that case, either restore the home directory contents or save the password again using the rcxlogin command.
Note
When reinstalling the manager, as the backup and restore tools for configuration definition information are also uninstalled when the manager is uninstalled, reinstall the backup and restore tools for configuration definition information.
Stop the manager
Stop the manager.
For details on how to stop the manager, refer to the manager information in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
Restore system images and cloning images
Restore system images and cloning images.
Note
Use this procedure when using backup and restore, and cloning of RCVE physical servers.
For details on how to restore system images and cloning images, refer to the information about restoration of system images and cloning images in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Operation Guide".
Restore virtual machines of VM management software
For details on restoration, refer to the manual of the VM management software.
Restore information related to SystemcastWizard
[Windows]

*3: In XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, an IP address is displayed.
Restore configuration definition information
Restore configuration definition information
Restore the written configuration definition information in "4 Back up configuration definition information" of the "I.3 Backing Up the Admin Server".
Execute the following command:
>rcxrestore -dir dirname <RETURN> |
Note
Specify the command using an absolute path.
Start the manager
Start the manager.
For details, refer to the information about starting the manager in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
Restore the OS property definition file
Restore the OS property definition file.
For details on OS property definition file, refer to "D.5 [OS] Tab".
Restoration of definition files for combining FC-CA ports of ETERNUS storage
Restore definition files for combining FC-CA ports of ETERNUS storage.
For details on the definition file, refer to "4.2.4 Storage Resources".
Note
Combination definition files are only necessary when using ETERNUS for L-Server storage on physical servers.
Restore image management information
Restore the following image management information if it was modified at the time of backup.
Number of system image versions
Number of cloning image versions
Note
Use this procedure when using backup and restore, and cloning of RCVE physical servers.
For details on how to change the number of system image versions, refer to the information about the maximum number of system image versions in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
For details on how to change the number of cloning image versions, refer to the information about the maximum number of cloning image versions in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
Note
When operating managers in cluster environments, change the name of the folder to restore to the folder name used on the shared disk.
For details on the folder name of the shared disk, refer to the manager cluster operation settings section of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
When configuring a VM host as a spare server, leave the "operation" of the "SpareServer" section of the physical server to use as a hyphen ("-"). After completing restoration, configure the spare server for the target physical server from the RC console.
Do not perform restoration during server switchover, failback, backup or restoration of a system image, or while a cloning image is being collected or deployed.
When performing restoration of certificates, configuration definition information, and system images and cloning images, restore backups taken at the same point in time.
Restoration can only be executed if none of the settings or hardware configuration changes described below have been made since the admin server was backed up:
Replacement of a chassis, LAN switch blade, managed server, or power monitoring device
Replacement of the NIC of a managed server
LAN connections between managed servers and LAN switch blades
Server switchover or takeover (*1)
*1: If failback has been performed after server switchover, restore can be performed.
Managed servers using HBA address rename must be restarted after being restored.
Maintenance mode settings cannot be recovered after restoration. Set the maintenance mode in accordance with the information recorded at the time of backup.
When an agent is registered on a managed server and when backup of system images and collection of cloning images is being used, perform either of the following after restoring the admin server.
Restart the managed server
Restart the Deployment service described in the agent information in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide"
Connection information of LAN switches and network maps cannot be backed up. Refer to the preparation information for network maps in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Operation Guide", register LAN switches and obtain the network information.
VIOM coordination user names and passwords cannot be backed up. Register VIOM coordination before performing restoration.
For details on operations, refer to the information about VIOM coordination registration in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Setup Guide".
