This section provides notes regarding Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager backup and restore.
Advisory notes when coordinating with ServerView Resource Orchestrator
When coordinating with ServerView Resource Orchestrator, ServerView Resource Orchestrator and Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager share the CMDB. Backup and restore of the CMDB data are performed using ServerView Resource Orchestrator.
For details on backup and restore of ServerView Resource Orchestrator, refer to "Mechanism of Backup and Restoration" in the "ServerView Resource Orchestrator Cloud Edition Operation Guide" for details.
Notes on the environments where backups and restorations are performed
The backup and restoration environments must follow the criteria below:
When OS are different between the backup source and the restore destination. However, execution will be possible if the operating system versions of the same vendor are different.
When the product installation directories are different [Windows]
When the host information (host name/IP address) is different
When the code types are different
When the CMDB database storage directories are different
When the Web server (Interstage HTTP Server), message broker, and server function port numbers are different
Notes on the timing of backups and restorations
When backup and restore are executed, it will be necessary to restart Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager. When linked to ServerView Resource Orchestrator, it will be necessary to restart Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager and ServerView Resource Orchestrator. For this reason, the operator should execute backup and restore in a time zone that does not use Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager and ServerView Resource Orchestrator.
The statuses of patch application, patch distribution, parameter setting, and script execution that were in effect at the time of backup will be restored. If restore is performed using backup resources for which script execution is in progress, operation will be resumed. Before performing backup, confirm that patch application, patch distribution, parameter setting, and script execution are not running.
Handling backup resources
When moving backup resources to the restoration target, move the directory specified as the backup directory and all its files.
Do not delete the backup resources in the directory specified as the backup directory until the restoration completes.
The backup command cannot be used to back up data to the following types of media:
Optical disks such as CD-Rs and DVD-Rs
To save user assets to optical disks, first back up the data to the local disk, and then, write it to the media using a dedicated optical disk writer, for example.
Network paths [Windows]
Directories whose pathnames include spaces
