Before backing up, CIMS System (Manager) must be stopped.
At this point, also back up the Interstage Single Sign-On resources that manage user information. The following tasks apply:
Stopping the CIMS Systems
Backing up CIMS Resources
Backing up the CIMS Resources (Resources for the Self Service Portal)
Backing up the CIMS Resources (Configuration Management Resources)
Backing up the CIMS Resources (Application Process Resources)
Backing up the CIMS Resources (Interstage Single Sign-On Resources)
Backing up the CIMS Resources (Resource Pool Management Resources)
Starting the CIMS System
Stop the CIMS System (the Manager) by executing the following command.
<CIMS installation folder>\cims\Manager\bin\cims mgrctl stop
The processing results are output to the standard output. If the return value is 0, the command has terminated normally and the system has stopped.
Processing result | Return value |
|---|---|
Normal termination | 0 |
Error | Other than 0 |
Checking the system status
Check that the Manager and the service from this product have stopped. Refer to "G.1.2 Manager Control Commands" for information on how to check the status.
Backup the databases and various definition files relating to resources for the Self Service Portal function by executing the following command. Create a new directory (folder) to store the resources, making sure that the directory name does not include spaces.
<CIMS installation folder>\Systemwalker\SWCTMG\bin\swctmg_backup.bat <Storage folder>
Backing up the configuration management resources
Back up the various definition files and the database relating to configuration management resources by executing the following command. For the storage directory (folder), specify a directory that does not exist.
Stop the database.
net stop "Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager DB Service"
Perform a backup.
<CIMS installation folder>\Systemwalker\SWCFMG\bin\cfmg_backup <Storage folder>
Start the database.
net start "Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager DB Service"
Backing up the application process resources
The following example shows the operations for backing up resources to the folder "X:\Backup\swrba".
Create the following folder.
mkdir X:\Backup\swrba
Execute the following command to back up the resources.
<CIMS installation folder>\Systemwalker\SWRBAM\bin\swrba_backup X:\Backup\swrba
Backing up the Interstage Sigle Sign-On resources
Stop the Interstage Sigle Sign-On
<CIMS installation folder>\Systemwalker\SWRBAM\sso\bin\ssoclservicectl stop
Execute the following command to back up the resources.
<CIMS installation folder>\Systemwalker\SWRBAM\sso\bin\ssoclbackup <Storage folder>
Start the Interstage Sigle Sign-On
<CIMS installation folder>\Systemwalker\SWRBAM\sso\bin\ssoclservicectl start
Note
For second and subsequent backups, the folders and configuration definition information from previous backups can be safely deleted after the new backup has been taken. Delete these folders and definition information to free up disk space if necessary
Do not perform backups while backing up or restoring system images, or while taking or distributing cloning masters
Backing up the configuration definition information.
Export configuration definition information by executing the following command.
Use the "-dir" option to specify the storage directory to which the configuration definition information and version information XML file is to be exported.
If the storage directory does not exist, a new directory will be created.
If the storage directory already exists and the "-overwrite" option is specified, the XML file will be overwritten. An error will occur if "-overwrite" is not specified.
[Windows]
<CIMS installation folder>\Resource Orchestrator\Manager\bin\rcxbackup -dir <Storage folder> [-overwrite]
Note
Specify the absolute path to the command.
Note the following when specifying directories.
Do not specify the system installation directory for the "-dir" option.
Do not specify directories that include the following symbols for the "-dir" option:
""", "|", ":", "*", "?", "/", ".", "<", ">", ",", "%", "&", "^", "=", "!", ";", "#", "'", "+", "[", "]", "{", "}"
When transferring the backup data (the directory specified by the "-dir" option) to an FTP server or some other destination, first use ZIP or some other method to compress the backup data into a single file before transferring it.
When restoring from the backup data, note that all of the configuration definition information and definition files must have been backed up at the same time. It is recommended that the backup data be stored together in a directory with a name that indicates the date and time when the backup was taken.
Execution conditions
Configuration definition information cannot be backed up while operations are being performed on resources such as L-Servers, resource pools, and resource folders. Stop the Manager before executing backups.
Note that the following information is not restored as part of the restoration process. Take the appropriate action that matches the information below.
Maintenance mode status
Maintenance mode will be canceled after restoration. If you take a backup when maintenance mode has been set up, record the maintenance mode status for each Managed Server before taking the backup.
Power consumption data for power monitoring devices
Power consumption data for power monitoring devices cannot be restored. It is recommended that power consumption data be output before reinstalling the Manager. Refer to the article on power consumption data output in the "ServerView Resource Coordinator Ve Oparation Guide" for information on the operation method.
Backing up SystemcastWizard-related information
Back up the following data to any desired folder.
For files and databases, simply copy the data to the folder. For registries, use the registry editor to export all of the following keys.
No | Type | Backup/restoration target |
|---|---|---|
1 | Registry (*1) | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fujitsu\SystemcastWizard(32bitOS) |
2 | Database | <CIMS installation folder>\Resource Orchestrator\ScwPro\scwdb\scwdb1.mdb <CIMS installation folder>\Resource Orchestrator\ScwPro\scwdb\scwdb1.mdw |
3 | DHCP settings file | <CIMS installation folder>\Resource Orchestrator\ScwPro\bin\ipTable.dat |
4 | IP address settings file | <CIMS installation folder>\Resource Orchestrator\ScwPro\bin\localipaddress.txt |
5 | AWWN definition file | <CIMS installation folder>\Resource Orchestrator\ScwPro\tftp\rcbootimg\awwn_XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.cfg (*2) <CIMS installation folder>\Resource Orchestrator\ScwPro\tftp\rcbootimg\_awwn_XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.cfg (*2) |
*1: For 64-bit operating systems, this registry redirects to Wow6432Node.
*2: Here "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" represents an IP address.
Backing up various definition files
The various definition files that were created when this product was used will be erased during uninstallation.
If necessary, back up (copy) the following folder to another folder before uninstalling this product.
<CIMS installation folder>\Resource Orchestrator\Manager\etc\customize_data
Start this product (the Manager) by executing the following command.
Note
The Manager starts automatically when the Admin Server is started.
<CIMS installation folder>\cims\Manager\bin\cims mgrctl start
The processing results are output to the standard output. If the return value is 0, the command has terminated normally and the system has started.
Processing result | Return value |
|---|---|
Normal termination | 0 |
Error | Other than 0 |
